It's a genuine mystery why young people in the American school system would identify so strongly with scenarios involving authority, brainwashing, bureaucracy, surveillance and control.

Do you ever just look up at the stars?

A panorama doesn't have to be on a curved canvas, it just has to show a wide view. Once you get wide enough linear perspective breaks down, so even a small panorama can be a lot more complicated than a non-panoramic painting of the same size.

Edit: Actually now I see where OP said it. The picture in the photo looks flat, but has an outward fisheye thing going on. Could be a canvas painted for panoramic display being temporarily hung in a flat frame but I don't know enough about curved perspective to know whether that's the case.
