Things to do in and around Atlanta: June 21-29

Tons of red Georgia clay were trucked into the Cyclorama building in Grant Park from 1934-36 when WPA artisans created the diorama that accompanies “The Battle of Atlanta” painting. But damp conditions in the Cyclorama building led to rot and mold. In 1979, the earth was cleaned out and replaced with a wooden substructure and painted fiberglass. That diorama has been re-created at the Atlanta History Center, with a thin layer of red clay frosting. ALYSSA POINTER / ALYSSA.POINTER@AJC.COM
