The 6th of October War Panorama is a museum and memorial to the 1973 October war, located in Heliopolis, Cairo. It was inaugurated on 5 October 1989 by former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. It was built as a cylindrical fort-like building molded in Islamic architectural style with partial assistance from a group of North Korean architects and is run by the Egyptian National Military Museums Department.
