In 1959, Barbie™ was born, introduced to the world at the American International Toy Fair in New York City. Just a few months later, on the other side of the country, Phoenix Art Museum opened its doors to Arizona audiences. Become a PhxArt Member to celebrate these two extraordinary birthdays with us in 2024! This Valentine’s Day, PhxArt will premiere two incredible exhibitions: Barbie®: A Cultural Icon, featuring more than 250 vintage dolls, historical artifacts, and more, alongside The Power of Pink, a fashion-design exhibition drawn from our extensive collection that traces the history of the hue through historical garments and contemporary haute couture.
Trace the evolution of Barbie, from child’s toy to global icon.
Explore the complex history of the popular yet controversial color and its impact on fashion and pop culture.
Without a Museum Membership, a family of four visiting Barbie®: A Cultural Icon, The Power of Pink, and our many other exhibitions will spend $92 on general-admission tickets. Purchase a Family-level Membership for just $90 to unlock free admission for two adults and all youth 17 and younger, exclusive discounts on Barbie™ merchandise, and all the perks of Membership for a full year. And if you join by February 13, 2024, we’ll add in two free months of Membership! That means you’ll get 14 months of incredible art for the price of 12, while guaranteeing yourself unlimited access to Barbie®: A Cultural Icon and The Power of Pink, along with all of our special-engagement exhibitions, including Amalia Mesa-Bains: Archaeology of Memory, featuring large-scale works by the groundbreaking Chicana artist, and Expanding Darshan: Manjari Sharma, To See and Be Seen, showcasing stunning, theatrical portraits depicting nine Hindu deities.
