Norfolk Island in the South Pacific is home to Fletcher's Mutiny Cyclorama, a 360° panoramic painting. This is one of only a handful of paintings of this type in the world and is based on an art form made popular in the 1800's.

Visitors walk inside the circular painting and are surrounded by the immense artwork. A spectacular 3D effect is achieved in this painting with its detailed artwork and realistic perspective, creating an incredible illusion for the viewer. Music and sound effects composed especially for the painting further enhance the Cyclorama experience.

The painting blends a continuing series of scenes which depict the history of the Norfolk Island people who are descended from the crew of the famous 1789 mutiny on the Bounty and their Tahitian companions. Their tale is told through storyboard panels which document the scenes of the painting... the voyage of the Bounty to Tahiti, the mutiny and the settlement of Pitcairn and Norfolk Islands.
