Barbie obviously is a global brand and this year is the 65th anniversary of the launch of the first Barbie doll, so it's timely in that respect, but more specifically from the point of view of this institution, I think it's valid to see Barbie as a design phenomenon.
If you trace the design history of Barbie it's basically the design history of the late 20th and 21st centuries in microcosm.
