In the pink-painted bowels of the Design Museum, Barbie culture has taken root. The exhibition to celebrate the plastic doll's sixty-fifth birthday encompasses all aspects from the changing figure and hair to her role as fashion icon and barometer of American society, with models from the first (1959) to the most recent including the first black, Hispanic and “curvy” versions, plus all aspects of her universe.

Rare gems, abstracted design details and exquisite craftsmanship evoke historic empires, appropriate for a brand whose generations have traced the Silk Road west from Armenia.
