Hey doll, you look great!

She's about to turn 50, but this lady hasn't aged a bit in years. She's a real doll -- no, really.
The Barbie doll is being showcased in an exhibit at the Museum of Arts and Sciences.

"Barbie Doll: Celebrating 50 Years of an American Icon" features over 400 dolls from the private collection of Jo Ann Winspur.

The Barbie dolls sport clothes from her creation in 1959 through today, including couture by famed Hollywood designer Bob Mackie. The exhibit also includes vintage play sets and such Barbie friends as Steffie, Cara, Julia, Midge, Skipper and, of course, that Ken guy.

The exhibit runs through April 5 at the museum, 352 S. Nova Road, Daytona Beach. Museum hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sundays. The museum will close at 3 p.m. Dec. 31 but is open New Year's Day.

Admission is $12.95 adults, $10.95 seniors and students, $6.95 children ages 6 to 17, free to children 5 and younger. Information: 386-255-0285 or moas.org.
