This brick building, surrounded by a lush green garden, is filled with teddy bears from around the world, including works by popular artists. The collection also features historically significant bears, such as one made by Germany’s Steiff around 1910 and another made by Britain’s Chad Valley around 1940.
Visitors can also see imaginative works such as “The Rushmore Bears,” inspired by the enormous sculptures of four U.S. presidents at Mount Rushmore, and a piece based on Louisa May Alcott’s world-famous novel Little Women. See if you can find your favorite among the many bears on display.
After meeting the museum’s adorable teddy bears, take a break at Teddy’s Garden, a British-style café serving teddy bear-themed sweets and drinks. Terrace seating is also available, offering a relaxing place to admire the garden on a sunny day.
Don’t forget to stop by the museum shop before leaving. Pick up an exclusive limited-edition teddy bear or original merchandise, including accessories and small items, as a keepsake from your visit.
