The Land of Oz: Beyond the Page
November 13, 2025 to March 15, 2026
Presented by Driehaus Museum
“The Land of Oz: Beyond the Page explores the imaginative artistry required to turn the classic children’s story into a beloved movie. Divided into three sections—Writing, Costume, and Production Design—the installation reveals how the designers brought L. Frank Baum’s world to life.
“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. Families, film lovers, and design enthusiasts alike will find something to spark their imaginations.” (Driehaus Museum)
