Trace Barbie's history in Raleigh exhibit

I had the chance to check out the Barbie exhibit at the N.C. Museum of History in Raleigh. Right on the first floor, the exhibit traces Barbie's five-decade history. It also tells the Barbie stories of people across the state ... the girl who really wanted the Barbie kitchen for Christmas, the boy who painted the Barbie car black. There are some really cute ones.

You'll see Barbies from across the decades. It's a fun exhibit for all the Barbie lovers out there.

Read more about the exhibit by clicking here and check out this video. The exhibit runs through June 1.
