Museum Panorama Mesdag in The Hague is home to one of the largest surviving cylindrical paintings in the world. Completed in 1881 by Hendrik Willem Mesdag, it depicts a sweeping 360-degree view of the seaside resort of Scheveningen. Visitors take it in from a central platform, surrounded by a sculpted dune landscape that deepens the illusion of standing in the open air.
