GETTYSBURG CYCLORAMA IN THE NEWS

World Monuments Fund
World Monuments Fund is the foremost private, non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of historic art and architecture worldwide through fieldwork, advocacy, grantmaking, education, and training. Every other year, WMF publishes the World Monuments Watch list of 100 Most Endangered Sites. The 2006 Watch List includes the Cyclorama Center at Gettysburg, cited as a significant example of postwar architecture.

Dwell Magazine
The July/August 2005 issue of DWELL contains the following paragraph about the Cyclorama Center on page 43:
" We may agree that age alone doesn't necessarily warrant preservation, but we have no reservations getting huffy over the proposed destruction of the Cyclorama. The only public Neutra building east of the Mississippi, this mid-century design was built as a utopian homage to Lincoln on the 100th anniversary of the Civil War. The National Park Service, however, plans to destroy the curvilinear structure within the next year in favor of a tourist-friendly (i.e., massive) visitors' center and parking lot. You can help protect Neutra's building by signing this online petition. "

Modernism Magazine
The Summer 2005 issue of MODERNISM MAGAZINE contains a ten-page article and photo essay by Christine Madrid French entitled "Bulldozing A Masterpiece: Richard Neutra's Modernist Gettysburg Memorial".
