In this charming musical, based on the popular L. Frank Baum stories, Dorothy and her dog Toto are caught in a tornado's path and somehow end up in the Land of Oz.  Here she meets some memorable friends and foes in her journey to meet the Wizard who everyone says can help her return home and possibly grant her new friends their goals of a brain, heart and courage.

‘Fermtouns to New Toons’ – Let’s Celebrate Lanarkshire

There is much to celebrate in South Lanarkshire - our beautiful landscape, the industry and buildings that have shaped our towns and villages, our communities and the people who have made a difference locally and internationally. And, our new exhibition ‘Fermtouns to New Toons’, at Low Parks Museum in Hamilton shows just how diverse and interesting our people and our landscape are.

South Lanarkshire had many diverse industries throughout the area from fruit and tomato production in the Clyde Valley to lace-making, coal mining and shipbuilding which led to the development of many of the towns and villages in South Lanarkshire.

This exhibition, as part of the 'Celebrating Lanarkshire 2013' project and brought to you by South Lanarkshire Leisure & Culture’s Museum service and South Lanarkshire Museums Forum, highlights aspects of our shared past, through the people, places, traditions and objects that help to tell our story.

Part funded by Museums Galleries Scotland, ‘Fermtouns to New Toons’ was developed as part of the ‘Celebrating Lanarkshire 2013’ project and is open from 28 March 2013 until 26 January 2014.
