Studying the Salzburg Cosmoramas

In December, some researchers from our team will travel to Salzburg to visit the Panorama Museum and see the Cosmoramas by Johann Michael Sattler (1786-1847) and Hubert Sattler (1817-1904). These cosmoramas were shown along with the Panorama of Salzburg on the European tours undertaken by the Sattlers. This visit will allow our team access to the archive of the museum with more than 130 cosmoramas, most of which have not been on display for decades. The visit will also focus on the materiality of these canvases, their optical apparatus, and on their coeval documentation.
