NEW EXHIBIT AT EL QUARTELEJO MUSEUM
"Follow the Yellow Brick Road" is the theme of a delightful new exhibit in the Temporary Gallery at El Quartelejo Museum. This large collection of Wizard of Oz memorabilia is on loan from Linda See Armstrong. Linda has been collecting Oz memorabilia for more than 25 years and has hundreds of items on display at the museum.
She doesn't care much for the witches, so focuses largely on the four main characthers, Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion.
Many of the items on display have never been taken from their original boxes, adding to their value as collector's items. There are ruby slippers, magic wands, music boxes, mobiles, books, puzzles, posters and wall hangings. Among the special treasures is a newspaper with autographs of several of the original Munchkins from the movie. Only one of those oroginal cast members is still living.
The public is invited to enjoy this unique exhibit at El Quartelejo Museum, 902 West 5th Street (West Highway 96) Hours are 1-5 Monday through Friday. There is no admission charge, though donations are always welcome.
