Barbie: The Dream Experience opened in September 2025 inside WONDR Experience Amsterdam Noord, a space known for immersive art exhibits. The concept was developed by Mattel, celebrating Barbie’s 65th anniversary, and designed by Dutch creative studio partners specializing in experiential entertainment. The exhibition was created to showcase Barbie’s evolution, from her origins in 1959 to becoming a global symbol of empowerment and imagination. Each of the twelve zones reflects milestones in Barbie’s history, merging physical installations with digital interactivity to appeal to both children and adults.
The attraction was produced jointly by Mattel Inc. and WONDR Experience Amsterdam, following a design collaboration between global creative agency WONDR Labs and Dutch experiential designer Joram Roelofs.
The design philosophy behind Barbie: The Dream Experience focuses on immersion and fantasy. Each themed room combines modern architectural lighting, soundscapes, and color-responsive surfaces to create a fully interactive environment. Spanning 12,000 sq ft (approximately 2,000 m²), the exhibition follows a looped flow system that guides guests through interconnected zones, each with its own distinct theme, from the 1960s space module to the 1970s Malibu Beach and the 1990s salon. Dynamic lighting shifts per zone, ranging from warm sunset ambers to vibrant pinks, while smart sensors trigger motion-based interactive experiences throughout.
It’s an interactive, Mattel‑licensed exhibition at WONDR Experience that lets visitors step into life‑sized Barbie worlds celebrating her 65‑year evolution in fashion, careers, and creativity.
