Historian John Fricke shares what it was like to work on the set of "The Wizard of Oz" (1939). He spoke with Kari Fantasia of our External Affairs team. They're in the museum's Objects Conservation Lab and on the table is the museum's pair of Ruby Slippers from the movie. The Ruby Slippers completed a multi-year conservation effort thanks in part to the generous contributors to our Kickstarter campaign.
