Ion Orchard brings childhood dreams to life at House of Dreams, a larger-than-life Barbie exhibition showcasing a stunning collection of over 600 unique Barbie dolls.

The dolls are all from the private collection of local Barbie enthusiast Jian Yang, who will also be running exclusive paper couture workshops where you'll design and create a unique Barbie outfit from upcycled materials.

Supported by the Singapore Tourism Board, this first-of-its-kind exhibition showcases Barbies in ensembles from luxury design houses to Singapore's homegrown labels, set against the landscape inspired by the Barbie Dreamhouse.

Be sure to check out the special Barbie box photo booth to pose and snap pics while you're there.
