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.

The visit will also focus on the materiality of these canvases, their optical apparatus, and on their coeval documentation.
