Barbie is there
Here’s something that kids of all ages will be unable to resist—an exhibition devoted to Barbie and Lego. Until June 12, the Forum am Deutschen Museum will feature a collection of what are undoubtedly the world’s most popular toys. Indeed, statistically speaking, there are so many lego bricks in circulation, that every one of the world’s six billion inhabitants owns an average of 52. Barbie, too, is still something of a cult object, some 46 years after the first doll was produced, in 1959. The exhibition, which features toys both old and new, is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm.
