A New Barbie Exhibit Is Heading To NYC With A Life-Size Mirror-Pink Corvette
Grab your pinkest outfit: a Barbie exhibit is on its way to NYC in a few short weeks, and we couldn’t be more delighted about its arrival.
What better way to keep the doll’s 65th anniversary celebration going?
We just indulged in the eye-catching and irresistible Krispy Kreme Barbie doughnuts, so it feels only right to honor our leading lady with even more dedications.
The Museum of Arts and Design, a creative gem in Columbus Circle, will do the honors of hosting Barbie®: A Cultural Icon, which is sure to rise to the top of best NYC exhibits.
“More than simply a toy for make-believe and role play, Barbie has responded to and reflected nearly every significant social advancement over the last six decades,” Tim Rodgers, Nanette L. Laitman Director, Museum of Arts and Design, said in a statement.
Visitors will find a lot to love in this hidden gem of a museum: 250 vintage dolls, life-size fashion designs, advertisements, exclusive video interviews with the doll’s designers, and so much more.
“We are tickled ‘pink’ to welcome Barbie to the MAD this fall,” Rogers added. “The Museum has long been interested in the cultural impact of art and design in all spheres, including pop culture.”
Should you appreciate a good selfie, you’ll be pleased to know a life-size Barbie Mirror-Pink Corvette is zipping into the space, and it has your name written all over it.
The museum notes there are more memorable moments along the way, like fashion looks from the ’70s to the 2000s, the creation of the Barbie Dreamhouse, and learning how Christie, the first Black doll, and Ken came to be.
We’ll see you in Midtown this October. Visit MAD online for ticketing information.
The Museum of Arts and Design, 2 Columbus Circle
On view from October 19th, 2024 to March 16th, 2025
