Planning your visit
The 1939 film is one of the most-watched motion pictures ever made, and the museum at Cape Canaveral holds over 2,000 items connected to it and to Baum's books: original props and costume pieces, first editions, posters, production material and memorabilia accumulated across eight decades of the story's afterlife.
Immersive rooms recreate scenes — the tornado, the yellow brick road, the Emerald City — with effects, and the interactive elements are aimed squarely at families.
Baum wrote fourteen Oz books and the story has been continuously reinterpreted since, from the 1902 stage musical through The Wiz to Wicked, which the museum covers.
Cape Canaveral is otherwise entirely about spaceflight, and this sits oddly and cheerfully beside the Kennedy Space Center visitor complex a short drive away.
