Our Story: The Spark of Inspiration
Once upon a time, in the heart of Northern California, a unique institution emerged—a place where dreams take flight and empowerment knows no bounds. The Be Anything Museum (BAM!) was founded to be a haven of inspiration, filled with the stories and achievements of extraordinary role models who have defied the odds to achieve greatness. It all began with our founder, Lourdes Uranday, a passionate collector and long-time fan of Barbie, who envisioned a space that not only showcases iconic figures but also ignites the spark of potential in every visitor.
One sunny morning, a young girl stepped into the museum with a heavy heart, feeling like she didn’t belong. She was greeted by Lourdes, who guided her through the halls filled with remarkable stories of resilience, courage, and empowerment. That day, the girl left the museum with a newfound sense of purpose, realizing that she, too, could be anything she aspired to be. This is the magic of BAM!—a place where everyone can discover their potential and be inspired to make a difference in the world.
