- Inside the Conservation Lab: Conserving Dorothy's Ruby Slippers
- Description
- Dorothy's Ruby Slippers from "The Wizard of Oz" are nearly 80 years old. How can we keep them on display for 20 more years? Our conservators are hard at work stabilizing the shoes and researching what environment they need to prevent future deterioration on display. We're also working on conserving Scarecrow's costume from the 1939 movie. Back our Kickstarter campaign to help keep conserve these iconic objects: http://s.si.edu/oz1 (Just about 30 hours left!)
