Traveling Exhibit- The
Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Through May 2, 2010
It started with a book! LICM visitors will receive a visual
reminder of that fact as they step into a larger
than life, pop-up book that dazzles the eye and
stimulates the mind. LICM is the first museum to play host to
this brand new traveling exhibit based upon the
original book by L. Frank Baum that has
enchanted generations. Families will experience
science, art and history through the magic of
this timeless story. Each exhibit section
features an oversized three-dimensional book
opened to a page of the classic story. Children will have the opportunity to role
play in Dorothy’s house, see the power of tornados as they
crank up their own storm, solve brain teasers
alongside the Scarecrow, learn heart facts with
the Tin Man and crawl through a cave to test
their courage. During their exhibit visit, guests can
expect to run into munchkins, flying monkeys,
the wicked witch and of course, the Wizard of
Oz, himself!
All ages. Free with museum admission.
The exhibition
was produced and developed by Great Explorations
Children’s Museum of St. Petersburg, Florida;
designed and fabricated by Bruce Barry’s Wacky
World Studios of Oldsmar, Florida; with a grant
