The World Museum was a full-page illustrated feature in some American Sunday newspapers, starting on May 9, 1937 until January 30, 1938.[1] Devised and drawn by Holling Clancy Holling (1900–1973), it was also known as The World Museum Dioramas.[2]
The Evening Star in Washington and the Baltimore American both published the dioramas.[3][4] Publication in the Evening Star abruptly stops in February 1938 in spite of the next diorama, Log Cabin Days (scheduled for February 6, 1938) being announced in the January 30, 1938 issue along with Roman Gladiators. No announcement of the cancellation seems to have been done.[5]
