At the Minnesota Marine Art Museum in Winona, Minnesota, you'll find a painting that seems to go on forever.

It's called "The Grand Panorama of a Whaling Voyage 'Round the World." At 1,275 feet long, it's believed to be the longest painting in North America.

It's so big, it can only be shown one section at a time.
