The 10th Artistic Gymnastics World Championships were held in Budapest, Hungary, in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Hungarian Gymnastics Federation, on June 1–2, 1934.
It was the first World Championships with a women's segment to the competition.
It was also the first world championships at which individual medals for apparatus were given.
Conversely, contemporaneous, detailed coverage – beyond merely team totals – of select World Championships prior to World War I exists both in the pages of “Slovenski Sokol” magazine (via the Digital Library of Slovenia) and in reproductions of apparently original and contemporaneous Czech source materials (via Gymnastics-History.com) for both the 3rd (1907) and 6th (1913){{cite news|editor-last=Murnik |editor-first=Viktor (Dr.) |title=Slovenci na mednarodni tekmi v Parizu |trans-title=Slovenians at an international competition in Paris
Additionally, please note that in lieu of an article published in the 10 June 2024 issue of The International Journal of the History of Sport (a peer-reviewed journal) claiming that the BFEG’s (the FIG’s predecessor) archives from before 1950 appear to have been lost,{{cite web |last1=Vonnard |first1=Philippe |last2=Mayencourt |first2=Gil |title=Building European Fraternity Through Gymnastics: The Establishment of the Bureau Des Fédérations Européennes de Gymnastiques, 1863–1913
