museums in london Background Paintings in the Dioramas

Painters such as James Perry Wilson referred to photographs and plein air paintings to create the backgrounds for the Hall of North American Mammals' dioramas. Wilson, an architect by training, perfected a grid system to compensate for distortions caused by the curved shape of diorama wall. A self-taught landscape painter who worked at the Museum from 1943 to 1957, Wilson painted backgrounds for 38 Museum dioramas, including 24 in the Hall of North American Mammals, which reopened October 2012.
