The original ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland as Dorothy in the 1939 MGM film The Wizard of Oz is the most famous pair of shoes in the world.
Judy Garland's authentic ruby slippers in size 5B are the most expensive item of movie memorabilia in the world, valued at $3 million.
The ruby slippers are not covered with real rubies but sparkling rhinestones and sequins that were hand-sewn by expert craftsmen at MGM.
There's speculation that between 5 and 10 pairs of ruby slippers were made for The Wizard of Oz, and four pairs are known to have survived.
Glinda tells Dorothy to "close your eyes and tap your heels together three times. And think to yourself, 'There's no place like home.'"
