The Judy Garland Museum® hosts thoughtfully curated exhibits and artifacts, including the original Carriage featured in "The Wizard of Oz," a Dorothy Gale test dress worn by Garland, and many personal Judy Garland items collected over the last 40 years. Judy’s restored 1920s childhood home invites people to step back in time to learn about the legendary entertainer and her significant contributions to the performing arts in American and global history.
