A pair of ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in “The Wizard of Oz” and insured for $1 million is missing from a Grand Rapids museum.
Police Chief Leigh Serfling said the slippers were stolen late Saturday or early Sunday. Someone entered through a window and broke into a small display case holding the items.
John Kelsch, director of the Children’s Discovery Museum, said the slippers belong to a Los Angeles man who lent them to the museum.
Four pairs of ruby slippers worn by the Grand Rapids-born Garland in the 1939 movie are known to exist, including one pair on display at the Smithsonian Institution.
