Online talk
Tuesday, 24 February, 7.00–7.45 pm GMT
Since her debut in 1959, Barbie has been far more than a toy. She has reflected – and helped shape – changing ideas about fashion, gender, ambition and identity.
In this talk, we explore Barbie’s cultural impact, her evolving design and collecting history, and how she transformed the toy industry, influencing how dolls and toys were designed, marketed and imagined for generations to come.
Welcome!
