Before the museum opens to the public, our expert guide will walk you through the exhibition, providing a “behind-the-seams” look at Barbie’s rise as fashion muse and role model since her debut in 1959. Be amazed at our display of more than 250 vintage dolls, life-size fashion designs, exciting interactives, and more. At the tour’s end, step into the pink driver’s seat of Barbie’s Ultra ‘Vette for a photo souvenir of your memorable visit.
