Monster High: Over a Decade of Gore-geous Ghouls

Monster High is an ongoing fashion doll line that was released in 2010 by Mattel. The line produced dolls from 2010-2018, took a break in 2019, then began releasing dolls again from 2020- present. 

The line blends horror aesthetics with fashion, expressed through the teenage children of iconic monsters and mythological creatures. Monster High has had two major taglines over the years "Where freaky just got fabulous" and "be yourself. be unique. be a monster". Some of the major messages of the line are self-acceptance, acceptance of others, and self-expression. 

The exhibit will focus on four specific Monster High doll lines: the original line in 2010, the second wave in 2011, the Boo-riginal Creeproduction line in 2022, and the generation 3 line in 2022. The exhibit will show three characters across these lines. These characters will be: Draculaura (the daughter of Dracula), Frankie Stein (the child of Frankenstein's Monster), and Lagoona Blue (the daughter of the Sea Monster).
