Academy Museum

 The eagerly anticipated Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is slated to open Sept. 30th.   Nestled in the 5000 square feet of Hollywood Heaven will be The Wizard of Oz Gallery featuring the Ruby Slippers.  Of particular interest to Oz collectors will be the Academy Museum store located in the lobby.  Academy souvenirs will also be sold online.  Admission tickets are on sale now.

Costume designer Arianne Phillips serves as creative director for a Wizard of Oz clothing line which includes t shirts designed by Arjun Bhasin, Sharen Davis, and Sandy Powell.

Jeremy Scott will be presenting Wizard of Oz clothing and accessories from Moschino. 

I am beyond thrilled that a movie that didn't win an Oscar in the major categories is still being revered as the iconic classic it truly is.  May the Academy Museum thrill and educate enthusiasts and filmmakers for many years to come.
