![]() ![]() ![]() The truth, Van Goghs scenes are based on existing artworks. You might wonder why Van Goghs creation is 20 times faster than the Wizard of Oz. I created the Immersive Van Gogh to complement the Wizard of Oz since we can design 12 minutes of Immersive Van Gogh within three months. I signed a building lease at the end of 2018 but decided to back out because of the pandemic.ĭuring the pandemic, I was working to create the Immersive Wizard of Oz scenes and discovered that a 1-minute tornado scene took around six months to design. Researching, I decided to lease a building in Cape Canaveral due to its proximity to Orlando, Port, Cocoa Beach, and Kennedy Space Center. Ideally, it would be nice to be in Orlando, the tourism capital, but the lease rate is outrageous, and I could only operate for a few months. Having collectibles, a computer background, and a concept for what I want to create in the Immersive Wizard of Oz, I was in the location search for the museum. How about visiting a munchkin land with fairy tale-type surrounding with various flowers, mountains with different colors of flowers growing on each, and much more?īy consulting with a few software developers, I realized it is all possible, but it is way more complex than Van Gogh’s creation. In my head, I was thinking how cool it would be to have an opportunity to skip on the yellow brick road toward Emerald City and be surrounded by poppies. Visiting the Immersive exhibit of Van Gogh gave me the idea to bring elements from Oz books that were never made into the movie to life using Immersive technology. You might wonder what gave me the final push to open the museum. My dream was always to open the Wizard of OZ museum, like many other Oz collectors, but it is easier said than done. When I have friends and visitors at my home, I spend hours explaining OZ pieces in my collection, and most of them are inspired to learn that there is so much about Oz. If you collected, you probably understand what I am referring to, is no limit to spending to improve any collection. Are you aware that the Wizard of Oz movie, which we love is only partially based on the one book published 39 years before?Īdditionally, 40 official Oz books continue the story.īecause I was always on the hunt for rare pieces, which were out of reach of the average person, I was always short of funds. Like many, I did watch the original movie, but books got me hooked. You might wonder what is so special about The Wizard of Oz, that got me hooked. I was purchasing rare Oz pieces instead of investing somewhere else. Being a collector of the Wizard of Oz Memorabilia for over 35 years, working in the computer industry, and raising kids, I spend most of my money obtaining Oz items and never have enough to purchase pieces above my price range. ![]()
