The surprise was total: it was the famous blue and white dress worn by the actress in the film by Victor Fleming!
The outfit, donated to the University in 1972 by actress Mercedes McCambridge, was declared lost for more than forty years. The signature of Judy Garland, affixed to the dress, as well as a handkerchief slipped into the bottom of a pocket, made it possible to authenticate this relic of the 7th Art.
