In case you've been living under a bright pink rock for the past year, Barbie has come back in a big way. It's not just kids, either, as adults have gone gaga for the famous doll thanks to Greta Gerwig's excellent film “Barbie”, and the pink-hued craze is showing no sign of stopping.

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.

“Barbie®: The Exhibition” will be on at the Design Museum from 5 July 2024 to 23 February 2025. Tickets start at £7.09 for children and £14.38 for adults, and you can book yours here.
