I assume I could not take seriously any establishment that names itself a museum if it is not on the internet.
I performed a search on the keyword “Oz Museum” on Google and checked the first 150 positions since Google dominates 90% of online searches.
You might be surprised to learn that outside of the Wizard of Oz Museum in Florida, there are 6 other Wizard of Oz dedicated museums in US and one Oz Park in North Carolina.
Below is the list of them
1. Oz museum in Wamego Kansas
2. Land of Oz Museum in Wausaukee, Wisconsin
3. Dorothy’s House and Coronado Museum in Liberal, Kansas
4. All Things Oz Museum in Chittenango, New York
5. Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, Minnesota
6. Land of Oz theme park, Beach Mountain, North Carolina
7. The Wizard of Oz museum in Cape Canaveral, Florida
Some of the museums on the list have Wizard of Oz Movie props on display which are usually unique due to their rarity and are one-of-a-kind items.
In order to measure which museums provide an overall positive experience to visitors, reviews from different sources should be considered.
To my knowledge, the following sources ( Google, TripAdvisor, Facebook, and Yelp) cover 95% of visitors’ experiences.
