As the Barbie movie continues to dominate the box office, a new exhibition celebrating the iconic doll has opened at the TELUS Spark Science Centre in Calgary.
Barbie: A Cultural Icon looks back on the evolution of Barbie from 1959 to now, showcasing how pop culture and fashion trends have shaped the global phenomenon.
“You will see a wide variety of inclusivity throughout the Barbie evolution, from accessible Barbie, to plus-sized Barbie, to Barbie with Down syndrome,” said Tackaberry. One part of the exhibit celebrates women in space. In fact, Barbie went to the moon before Neil Armstrong.“We really believe in the power of play and imaginative play and Barbie explores all things STEM,” she said.
