The slippers were worn by Judy Garland to click her heels together in the film's ending scenes.
The slippers going on display in London are thought to be one of only four surviving pairs worn by Judy Garland in the 1939 film
They will be on show at Heritage Auctions' London saleroom and offices in Hanover Street from 28 November for several days as part of an international exhibition. Several prototypes were made and rejected. Out of the final six to 10 pairs that were made, four pairs worn in the movie are believed to have survived.
There, Dorothy met characters like the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion and the Tin Man who joined her on her quest to see the Wizard of Oz so she could return home. The film became a Hollywood classic and is preserved in the US Library of Congress's National Film Registry as culturally, historically and aesthetically important.
They were reunited earlier this year with their owner, who decided to sell them through Heritage Auctions.
