With the assistance of digital content accessible via QR codes throughout, this touches back to the genesis of Barbie by Ruth Handler and then elaborates on how Barbie has maintained relevance all the way into the 2020s with a modern mindset. From social media to new, visually diverse dolls, Barbie has modernized effectively and took off with even more newfound popularity after the release of the 2023 Barbie film.
