Montreal's Barbie Museum

Sharing is caring!

In Les Cours Mont-Royal shopping mall downtown there is a hidden little spot called the Barbie Expo.  It is a museum with a collection of Barbie dolls from all over the world!  Our EC Montreal international students can try to find their country’s Barbie.  There are hundreds and hundreds of international Barbies.  They even have a Montrealer Barbie dressed quite fashionably!

The Barbie’s are showcasing haute couture fashion.  There are brand name designers who have dressed the iconic Barbie.  Oscar de la Renta, Versace, Ralf Lauren and Calvin Klein are only a few of the designers showcased at the museum.

In addition, there are Barbie dolls from famous movies, television shows and pop culture.  It will surely bring back great memories as you stroll through the different glass cases.

The museum is absolutely free and set in a beautiful area.  There is a fountain that you can throw coins in.  All the donations go to the Make a Wish Foundation, where wishes are granted to terminally ill children.

The museum has breathtaking chandeliers and life size Barbie wall art.  There is also a giant life size Barbie box with a see-through window.  You can go inside and take a picture of yourself as a Barbie doll.  You can enter your picture to win a fantastic prize.

When you are out shopping in the incredible underground shopping mall, take a break and head over to the Barbie museum.  It is a real treat where you will be surrounded by beauty, wonderful music and I am sure a ton of childhood memories!

EC Montreal’s English in the City class had an outing at the Barbie museum where they coupled the visit with a camera caper in the shopping mall.  Students were asked to take a picture of their favorite Barbie outfit and then go off into the mall and find a similar outfit.  The student that came the closest to finding a perfect match won a class prize.

EC Montreal’s Young Learners programme this summer also held a similar activity during the pop culture theme week.
