"We are thrilled to not only provide a platform for bringing these collections to the public but also to give our students the opportunity to be a part of this historic endeavor."
"In this landmark anniversary year, what better way to bring The Wizard of Oz into the 21st century than to exhibit The Ruby Slipper and Inspirations of Oz Collections in partnership with FIDM," said Karen McTier, Executive Vice President, Domestic Licensing and Worldwide Marketing, Warner Bros.
