Norfolk tells its founding saga in the round: the Fletcher's Mutiny Cyclorama wraps viewers in a 360-degree painting - created by island artists across years of work - that walks the Bounty story from Tahiti and mutiny through Pitcairn's hiding to the 1856 migration that brought the descendants to Norfolk, the seamless canvas managing sea, ship and island light with trompe-l'oeil conviction. The viewing platform centres the immersion, the accompanying gallery adds context and the artists' craft story, and the hour equips every Kingston ruin and surname encounter afterwards with its narrative spine. The building was purpose-built for the painting and the viewing platform sits at its centre.
