Thun-Panorama: The circular painting by Marquard Wocher

Thun-Panorama: Das Rundbild von Marquard Wocher
This exhibition is available in
German
Rich in detail, this picture takes a look at everyday life in Thun 200 years ago and, with its countless stories, becomes a hidden object picture for young and old alike.
Der Basler Künstler Marquard Wocher erschafft 1814 das erste Panorama der Schweiz. Fasziniert vom Berner Oberland entwirft er ein Rundbild von 38 m Lauflänge der Kleinstadt Thun und deren Umgebung, mit Blick bis in die Alpen des Berner Oberlands. Detailreich wirft dieses Bild einen Blick auf das Thuner Alltagsleben vor 200 Jahren und wird mit den unzähligen Geschichten zu einem Wimmelbild für Gross und Klein. Heute ist das Panorama das älteste Rundbild der Welt und ist ein Depositum der Gottfried Keller-Stiftung.
