Smithsonian World

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Smithsonian World was a one-hour science, arts, and humanities documentary series which aired on PBS television stations in the United States from 1984 to 1988. The series was co-produced by the Smithsonian Institution and WETA-TV and periodically hosted by future Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian David McCullough. The program addressed topics related to the Smithsonian Institution in some way.[1] The New York Times described it as being similar to the Smithsonian Institution, "ambitious, eclectic and chockablock".[2] It was nominated for and won an Emmy for Outstanding Informational Series in 1987.[3]
