Auction for the iconic ruby slippers from “The Wizard of Oz” is coming to a close this week, with bidding set to end on Saturday. The shoes, famously worn by Judy Garland in the classic 1939 film, have been stolen from the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. The museum has launched a fundraising campaign to purchase the slippers, reaching out to entertainment industry leaders and corporations for support.
The current bid stands at $1.15 million, with experts predicting the shoes could sell for up to $5 million. The Judy Garland Museum hopes to add the ruby slippers to its collection, which would be a significant addition. With the auction set to close soon, time is running out for bidders to secure their desired price.
