In 2024, the world-conquering brand is celebrating its 65th anniversary. Kenciding with the celebratory occasion, Barbie is rocking up to London's Design Museum for a major exhibition exploring the famous doll's evolution. “Barbie®: The Exhibition” maps the Barbie legacy from its beginning in 1959 to today, exploring her story through fashion, architecture, furniture, and vehicle design. Thanks to a partnership with Barbie's parent company Mattel, the exhibition will feature treasured rarities and unique items from the Barbie archive vault in California.
