The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles is currently hosting an exhibit that delves into the fascinating history of color in cinema. One of the standout pieces on display is the iconic ruby-red slippers worn by Judy Garland in the classic film 'The Wizard of Oz.'

Originally white silk pumps, these famous shoes were transformed into their vibrant red hue by costume designer Adrian, who adorned them with nearly 5,000 sequins. Only four pairs of these shoes are known to exist, making them a prized possession at the museum.
