Barbie Exhibit Opens Today at the Strong National Museum of Play

Saturday June 27, 2009

Today is opening day for the new America's Favorite Doll exhibit at the Strong National Museum of Play. More than 500 Barbies are on display, showing how the doll has evolved and changed over time, beginning with the German Bild Lillie doll that inspired the original Barbie. The exhibit includes a giant Barbie house where children can go to dress up, as well as a wide range of Barbie fashion and accessories, including her airplanes, boats, cars and campers and motorcycles.
