Barbie celebrates her 50th Anniversary
The fashionable and lovable Barbie has turned 50! And we were there to help celebrate this glorious milestone.
The celebratory night of cupcakes, guest speakers and the fabulous display by renowned Barbie collector Neil Taylor, marked the opening of the Vintage Barbie @ the Gallery display at the Art Gallery of Western Australia.
On display to the public from Wednesday 23 September to Sunday 11 October 2009, Barbie collector Neil Taylor has been building this vintage collection for 20 years. The collection will display an array of vintage pieces and you can also have your collection appraised by Neil on the following dates:
- Saturday 26 September @ 11am-2pm
- Sunday 27 September @ 11am-2pm
- Saturday 3 October @ 11am-2pm
- Sunday 4 October @ 11am-2pm
- Saturday 10 October @ 11am-2pm
- Sunday 11 October @ 10am-12:30pm & 1:30-5pm
The Gallery Shop will also be decorated in pink during the display and stocked with limited edition dolls, Barbie children’s products, as well as a selection of Barbie books that feature examples from the Neil Taylor Collection. By visiting the shop you can go into the draw to win a Barbie hamper valued at over $500.
Barbie has never been out of fashion and nor will this limited edition 50th Anniversary of Barbie 1oz Silver Proof Coin.
Happy Birthday Barbie from all of us at TFC.
