WASHINGTON, Feb. 19 (UPI) -- The ruby slippers Judy Garland wore as Dorothy in 1939's "The Wizard of Oz" will be removed from their display at Washington's Smithsonian to be restored.
The shoes, which were donated anonymously in 1979 to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, need touch-ups in advance of the forthcoming "American Stories" exhibition, the museum said in a news release Friday.
