If Only Covid Was Gone, I Would Head For Here At Once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                    This is the  Oz Museum, in  Wamego,  Kansas.  Dorothy may have wanted to get back there, but don't forget "Splendor  In The  Grass" was also set in  Kansas, so  I have mixed feelings about the place as  a destination state.


                                       But, as a devotee of  MGM's 1939 masterpiece,  "The Wizard Of Oz," this is  one  place I would  LOVE to see!  For starters, look at  the inviting exterior.  There is even  a small auditorium where the  film is  daily screened-- I would head for there at  once.  Though, of course, I own it on DVD, nothings beats seeing it on the screen!  The collection includes things from  the movie, as  well as other materials related to  OZ, such as  past and  present dramatizations, screen works, board games, puzzles, picture books,  comics, even  the actual passport of actor Ray Bolger,  who played the Scarecrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                        This is an Oz archive to cherish.  The concept is  brilliant.  One walks into a  sepia toned replica of  Dorothy's house,  where one  pays their fare, then goes through the Tornado Simulator, and through Dorothy's Oz  journey, in  all its  stages, back  to the  world of  sepia again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                           Girls, this is too much for  me!!!!!!!!!!!!  Anti-vaxxers,  get your shots NOW, or else you will  deal with MY bitchiness to get here, which makes Margaret Hamilton's Wicked Witch  Of The West or  Disney's Maleficent pale, by comparison.


                                             I want to go here,  pronto!


                                              As Miss  Gulch said, "Well,  that's for the sheriff to decide!"


                                    Here is the 26 minute video that introduced me to the museum.  It will have to do, before we can all get there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
