As I recall there were more than one pair of Ruby Slippers made for the movie.

I saw a pair at the Smithonian in Washington, D.C. over a decade ago.

From Wikipedia:

The ruby slippers are a pair of shoes worn by Dorothy Gale as played by Judy Garland in the 1939 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer musical film The Wizard of Oz. Because of their iconic stature, they are among the most valuable items of film memorabilia. A number of pairs were made for the film, though the exact number is unknown. Five pairs are known to have survived; one pair was stolen from a museum in 2005 and recovered in 2018.

I also saw them at the Smithsonian in Washington DC. Didn’t get to see Archie Bunker’s chair though, lol.
