Closing
Horne and Taylor parted ways in November 2003, and Horne continued to operate the museum until its closure and his auctioning of his half of the collection in February 2007. Taylor, after leaving the partnership and removing his half of the museum attractions, almost immediately began work on another museum in Washington, DC, the Palace of Wonders, a museum which also featured regular stage performances, performances being an old-time dime museum feature for which the American Dime Museum simply never had the space. The Palace of Wonders opened in June 2006.

In waders and peaked cap
Into the showery dark,
A dole-kept breadwinner
But a natural for work.”

The fifth act of the closing night,
Why, cut it off, piece after piece,
And throw the tough cortex away....”
