MWS Germany will provide the items on display. Movies about the history of Barbie Dolls will also be shown at the exhibition. A costume design contest for Barbie Dolls and a Barbie Doll cosplay show will also be held. So far, similar exhibitions were held in 35 European cities.

 

Barbie is a best-selling fashion doll launched2 in 1959. The doll is produced by Mattel, Inc., and is a major source of revenue3 for the company. The American businesswoman Ruth Handler (1916-2002) is regarded as the creator of Barbie, and the doll's design was inspired by a German doll called Bild Lilli.
