Barbie: The Exhibition opens its doors at London’s Design Museum where a rich history of Barbie dolls and dreamhouses adorn the space. The curation showcases the shift in visual culture that took place over the toy’s 65 years. There are over 250 objects on display at Barbie: The Exhibition and it explores the plethora of aesthetic and cultural decisions that were considered when creating Barbie and how she has changed with time.
Danielle Thom, curator of the exhibition speaks about the toy’s influence throughout the years and explains, “What I would really like visitors to take away from the show, whether they’ve come as Barbie fans or Barbie skeptics but with an interest in design, is that there is actually a very complex and intentional set of design processes that go into creating the dolls and the accessories. I want people to realise that Barbie is a worthy proposition from a design point of view
