A pair of ruby slippers from Shawn Levy's Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. Kahmunrah (Hank Azaria) tossed aside one of the Smithsonian's famous ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz when he discovered it did not actually contain rubies. The Night at the Museum franchise includes three live-action films, an animated film, a video game, and a stage musical currently in the works.

These slippers, replicas of those worn by Judy Garland in the 1939 film, feature red translucent sequins applied throughout, matching bows, cream-colour leather linings (one labelled "I. Miller Beautiful Shoes Made in New York"), and applied orange felt bottoms replicating the same modification seen on the real ruby slippers that currently reside in the Smithsonian museum. Also included are two paper tags meant to look like aged Federal Archive tags and a Letter of Authenticity from Stephen H. Jarrett, who created the slippers for the film. The slippers exhibit wear from use and handling, including some repair to the right shoe's bow and sequins.
