Whether it’s being a president, an astronaut, a fashionista or a doctor, Barbie has done it all. A new exhibition celebrating the iconic doll's 65th anniversary will open at London's Design Museum on Friday 5 July for a seven-month run. The show presents 250 objects from Barbie's world, including 180 dolls spanning seven decades - and Ken and friends also make an appearance.

It makes sense that the founder of a new cheese museum in Paris would have cheese as his profile picture on Whatsapp. The colour of Cantaloupe, cheesemaker Pierre Brisson tells me it's Mimolette - a strong cheese traditionally produced in Lille that he'd carefully carved into a flower. "It's a technique to make the cheese more appealing," Brisson says. Lovely, but let's be honest: when it comes to cheese, most people don't need any floral flourishes to kickstart their salivary glands. In fact, the uglier and stinkier the better. Whether grated, melted, baked, sliced or slabbed on a board, Fran...
