All Things Oz Museum

The International L. Frank Baum & All Things Oz Historical Foundation operates the All Things Oz Museum. It is located in Chittenango, NY- the birthplace of author L. Frank Baum.

Baum’s best known work, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” is the American fairy tale. This museum showcases items from all around the “Oz universe” from the original books, to ‘Wicked’...from Broadway’s ‘The Wiz’ to 2017s movie ‘OzLand’, 'Muppets' Wizard of Oz', and the musical 'Chasing Rainbows'.

Come see original props from stage and screen, artifacts and collectibles, and some unique items that only exist here!

This museum celebrates Baum, his life, and his most famous work, as well as other works in the OZ universe. The Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit, and a 100% volunteer led organization.
