60th anniversary of Barbie dolls: Taishan passes on its heritage

This year is the 60th anniversary of Barbie, the favorite toy of many children around the world. Located in Taishan, New Taipei City, Taishan Doll Museum is filled with a diverse selection of Barbies from over the years. Though Barbie's head office is located in the United States, in the twenty years from 1967 until 1987, Barbie was produced in Taishan, Taiwan.

Thanks to the hard work of Taishan Doll Museum, Barbie is no longer a symbol of Western culture and has begun to adopt the Taiwanese cheongsam, traditional Chinese attire, and even traditional indigenous clothing, showing the beauty of Taiwan.

Barbie used to be every child's playmate and is intimately connected to everyone's collective memory. The precious Barbie culture has been passed down through the generations and has beautified our lives.

芭比60週年 泰山文化永流傳

今年是芭比的60週年，位在新北市泰山的娃娃產業文化館，裡面充滿著各種特色風情的芭比。芭比娃娃是世界上許多小朋友的玩具，芭比娃娃的總公司雖設在美國，但是從民國56年到76年，整整20年的時間都是在台灣的泰山生產。

在娃娃產業文化館的努力下，芭比娃娃不再是西洋文化的象徵，而開始改穿充滿台灣風味的旗袍、漢服、甚至是原住民服裝，呈現台灣之美。

芭比曾經是兒時的玩伴，不僅串連了大家共同的歷史記憶，更讓珍貴的芭文化隨著世代不同的交替永遠流傳，美化我們的生活。
