They are in the Smithsonian Institute, in the Museum of American History.

They're beautiful.

They may not always be on display, but I believe they are quite regularly. You can always check with the museum.

They're there along with Fonzie's jacket, part of The Swamp, and Archie and Edith Bunker's chairs!

imperial war museum I think.

The Smithsonian museum in Washington DC has a pair. There is more than one pair out there, but the pair that the Smithsonian has is considered "the Pair". Debbie reynolds also has a pair in her private collection..do not ask me how i know this.

Was just about to say! The Smithsonian!

they have a pair in the Smithsonian but experts say these are not a matching pair.

they have one pair that supposedly has changed hands a few times over the years but only between private collectors never at a public auction.

rumors are that about five pairs actually existed.

It is also possible that they were destroyed because for the longest time movie props were just that an held no great value until years later when collectors started buying up treasured pieces.

this is from imdb
Two styles of ruby slippers were tested for Dorothy by the MGM wardrobe department before they settled on the low schoolgirl-style pumps with bows. Early test photographs show Judy Garland wearing one of a pair of unique slippers known as the Arabian Test shoes (created by designer Adrian), which today belong to Debbie Reynolds. The other shoe is from a pair known as the Bugle Bead shoes. These pumps are without bows and have yet to publicly surface.

One pair of authentic Ruby Slippers in the Smithsonian are obviously not a matching pair. Rhys Thomas, author of 'The Ruby Slippers of Oz', speculates that there might be one to two pairs of authentic pairs unaccounted for.

Bert Lahr's (Cowardly Lion) costume
has been preserved by a collector.
It was featured on an Episode of Entertainment Tonight
years ago. I cannot recall the mans name but he's a wealthy
and famous memorabilia collector. At that time it was valued at over $100K
