The Duryea Panorama

Permanent Exhibition

The Duryea Panorama is a series of photographs that gives a birds-eye view of colonial Adelaide.

Townsend Duryea took this circular view of Adelaide in late 1865. His pictures, fourteen in all, were taken from the scaffolding around the then newly completed tower of the Adelaide Town Hall.

He began in the morning, facing north, and worked his way around the tower in an anti-clockwise direction to avoid the sun shining into his camera lens. The Duryea Panorama is now on display in the History Trust of South Australia's exhibition space located on the ground floor of the Torrens Parade Ground, Victoria Drive, Adelaide.
