Art venue for your event in Leipzig
Meet up beneath the world’s largest 360-degree panorama: Panometer Leipzig
The Panometer Leipzig is a truly awe-inspiring venue. Housed in a listed former gas storage facility, striking industrial architecture meets immersive art. Since 2003, artist Yadegar Asisi has been presenting the world’s largest 360-degree panoramas here, brought to life through changing lighting moods and extraordinary attention to detail. As an event organiser, you can invite your guests to experience these installations exclusively and outside regular opening hours. The Panometer can host events for up to 500 people. After your congress sessions in the auditorium, participants can find out more about the current panorama as they walk through the exhibition. The Panometer foyer is a great place for your programme to draw to a close with an evening reception. High-quality catering combined with the imposing panoramic view creates the perfect setting for lively conversation and meaningful networking.
Our tip: Would you like to create unforgettable moments first thing in the morning? The Panometer opens its doors for yoga for up to 100 participants, set right in the heart of the panorama. From the first sun salutation at the foot of the 32-metre-high circular artwork, this is an experience your participants will be talking about for a long time to come.
Audiovisual experiences for events
Digital art as a backdrop: Kunstkraftwerk Leipzig
Kunstkraftwerk Leipzig is Germany’s first museum dedicated to digital and multimedia art.

The creative setting provides a strong stimulus for new ways of thinking, making it ideal for collaborative workshops. For conferences, gala dinners or receptions at the Kunstkraftwerk, the projections become an exclusive visual backdrop. Alternatively, you can take full advantage of the venue’s state-of-the-art audiovisual infrastructure for impactful product presentations and brand experiences. The interplay of industrial architecture and urban art at the Kunstkraftwerk is guaranteed to impress your guests – and striking visuals come as standard.
Living industrial heritage for elegant occasions
DaCapo vintage car museum and event hall
Leipzig’s west has become a hotspot of industrial heritage. Former industrial sites have evolved into centres of urban culture. Factory halls have been transformed into galleries. With the DaCapo vintage car museum and event hall, a former foundry has been converted into a technology museum that offers a fascinating setting for a wide range of event concepts. The DaCapo event hall combines authentic industrial character with all the advantages of a modern venue. Right alongside immaculately polished classic cars, you can host an atmospheric gala complete with stage programme. The interplay of glass, brickwork and steel will lend your event a distinctive character. And after dinner, guests can wander through the rows of vintage cars. You don’t have to be a car enthusiast to love this venue.
