World's Largest Photograph Goes On Display At National Air and Space Museum | Popular Photography

World's Largest Photograph Goes On Display At National Air and Space Museum | Popular Photography: In 2006, a team of photographers and volunteers light-proofed an entire aircraft hanger, converting the immense space into an unfathomably large pinhole camera. Painting an enormous canvas with gelatin silver halide, they proceeded to create a photograph that measures 111x32 feet, the largest ever produced. Affectionately known as "The Great Picture", its enormous size means that it's not often put on display—but from now until November will be available to view at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

"The Great Picture" has been installed at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Va., where it was opened to the public on April 26th.
