Mattel and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) have announced a five-year global partnership, launching their first collaborative collection of seven MoMA-inspired Barbie dolls. The debut lineup includes a Van Gogh Barbie featuring a gown inspired by *Starry Night* (1889), alongside other dolls drawing from iconic artworks. This new collection follows Mattel's earlier 2015 Museum Collection, designed by Linda Kyaw, which included Barbies styled after works by Gustav Klimt, Leonardo da Vinci, and Vincent van Gogh, such as a Da Vinci Barbie modeled after the *Mona Lisa* and a Klimt Barbie based on *Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I* (1907).
