EXPO BARBIE ,THE LARGEST PERMANENT EXHIBIT OF BARBIE IN THE WORLD

Описание: In The Heart Of Downtown Montreal
One of the best-loved dolls of all time now has her own exhibition at Les Cours Mont-Royal in downtown Montréal: Barbie Expo is the largest permanent exhibition of Barbie dolls in the world, and features over 1,000 Barbies, including Hollywood stars, unique one-of-a-kind Barbie dolls and glamourous outfits created by famous fashion designers.
Admission is free to the 5,000-square-feet Barbie Expo, which features Barbie dolls dressed by such world-renowned designers as Christian Dior, Versace, Givenchy, Donna Karan, Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, Vera Wang, Oscar de la Renta and Herve Leger. Legendary show business designer Bob Mackie has also dressed 28 Barbie dolls on display at Barbie Expo.
There are also entertainment industry Barbies of Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Farrah Fawcett, and Barbra Streisand, plus are two Barbies of Cher, dressed in her classic “Half-Breed” and “If I Could Turn Back Time” outfits. There is also an entire display dedicated to Lucille Ball, as well as a fashion-show display complete with photographers (with flashing camera bulbs!) and models on a moving runway.
For Hollywood film fans, there are Barbies inspired by “The Hunger Games”, “The Wizard of Oz”, “Twilight”, “Grease”, “Titanic”, “My Fair Lady” and “Gone with the Wind”. Custom-made, one-of-a kind Barbie dolls include Kate Middleton, Marie Antoinette, Coco Chanel, Grace Kelly and Cleopatra.
Barbie Expo also celebrates diversity and features dolls of all sizes and skin colours.

“A lot of the dolls were donated by collectors and designers from all around the world, therefore we also wanted to give something back to the society,” says Law, noting that admission to Barbie Expo is free. But the museum accepts donations for Make-A-Wish Québec. “We picked the Make-A-Wish Foundation as it is a good cause known worldwide and dear to our donors.”
