Drawing on the illustrious history of the grand panoramas of the 18th and 19th centuries, The Velaslavasay Panorama is a museum comprised of exhibition spaces, a theatre and garden dedicated to the production and presentation of unusual visual experiences and performances, including those of the 360-degree variety, linear moving panoramas, immersive media art and experimental performance.

The Velaslavasay Panorama received general operating funds to support its mission of curating, creating and presenting the only 360-degree painted panorama on the West Coast, along with a 5,000-square-foot garden and public programs exploring 18th-century forms of virtual reality, 19th-century spectacle entertainments, built environments and thematic extensions of the panorama medium that critique and inform our 21st-century digitally impacted age with a sense of poetry and humanistic inquiry.
