Exhibit: The Land of Oz: Beyond the Page

The Land of Oz: Beyond the Page  explores the imaginative artistry required to turn the classic children’s story into a beloved 1939 MGM movie. Divided into three sections—Writing, Costume, and Production Design—the installation reveals how the designers brought L. Frank Baum’s world to life. The exhibit fills two galleries on the Museum’s third floor.

Highlights include a replica of Dorothy’s Ruby Red slippers, an early draft of the script, a prototype of the iconic Flying Monkey costume, a character costume from Emerald City, and a replica of the Cowardly Lion’s Badge of Courage. Visitors will also see a production memo about Dorothy’s look and a rare painting of the Emerald City.

Tickets can be reserved two weeks in advance on the Museum’s website.
