Verbal Description Tour: Barbie®: A Cultural Icon

Mon, Jan 27 / 2–3:30 pm

People who are blind or have low vision are invited to join us at MAD for an in-person verbal description tour of Barbie®: A Cultural Icon.

Barbie®: A Cultural Icon charts the 65-year history of Barbie and the doll’s global impact on fashion and popular culture through an expansive display of more than 250 vintage dolls, life-size fashion designs, advertisements, and other ephemera, along with exclusive video interviews with the doll's designers. Visitors to the exhibition will trace the evolution of Barbie from a child’s toy to a global icon, exploring the style trends, careers, and identities that Barbie has embodied and popularized since her debut in 1959.

Space for student observers or professional colleagues is limited. Please email education@madmuseum.org with inquiries.
