Do you know that in Marche you can find a very nice museum dedicated to …..Barbie doll!?

You have to reach Ripatransone in the province of Ascoli Piceno. Thanks to Rossella Iobbi, we could dream once again about colorful dresses and shiny crowns. The collection count 700 pieces also with the very first doll Barbie, produced in 1958 and sold in 1959.

Guess what: Ken is in the museum as well!

The very first Ken doll use to be made with strange hair made using  moquette !
