The building was designed in an architectural contest held in 1957, in which Ewa and Marek Dziekański won the first award. It consists of several parts. The architecturally dominant Rotunda houses only the Panorama and a viewing platform. Technical and accessory facilities, service areas for visitors, are situated in the Entrance Pavilion and in a few adjacent low structures to eliminate the installations and facilities potentially dangerous to the canvas from its vicinity. The building has been erected on the edge of a central park, in singularly picturesque environs, close to several museums, in an area abounding with architectural monuments. In front of the building there is an entrance yard, at a lower level than the surrounding terrain, constituting an architecturally framed foreground to the building. Before entering the Rotunda, the viewer will be able to get acquainted with the history of the Kościuszko Uprising by means of films and slides, to see a model of the Racławice battleground fitted with audio-visual facilities explaining the course of the battle (4 April, 1794). An entrance tunnel and a spiral ramp take the viewer onto the viewing platform. Viewing will take place in groups, the direction of viewing will be to the left. The Panorama will be accessible to disabled people in wheel- -chairs as well. The commentary will be emitted through loudspeakers in one of six languages offered, other languages will be dealt with by means of hired individual head receivers. The canvas is hanging on fourteen cornices suspended on 42 trolleys. The trolleys are equipped with control devices which operate in three planes perpendicular to one another. The conservation work, and in future the examination of both sides of the canvas, is carried out from the suspended cars. The building is equipped with many sophisticated installations, automatised in most cases, such as adr- -oonditiondLng, acoustic devices, fire-protection facilities etc. In 1981—83 the Rotunda was adapted for the conservation work. Among other things, a scaffolding measuring about 1200 m2 was erected to enable simultaneous unrolling of three segments in horizontal position or on the devices forming the canvas into a desired shape. During the works involving the use of inflammable agents, additional installations were mounted, such as special ventilation, lighting and steering facilities.
