Teddy Bear Museums
Since teddy bears have been around for about 100 years it is reasonable to assume, in all that time, some of them have been well loved and it is time for them to retire. Since there is no ‘old-folks home’ for teddy bears they are given to collectors, or a museum to sit comfortably and be admired.
Greenfield Village and the Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, is just one of the museums where a teddy bear may live his life in peace. This museum has hundreds of items on exhibit. There are several antique exhibits that include some of the first teddy bears ever made. Be sure and see all of the exhibits, as I recall, the bears are spread throughout the museum.
The Teddy Bear Museum in Naples, Florida, has over 4,000 bears on exhibit. Nearly 40,000 visitors from around the world visit the museum yearly. This ‘dream home for teddy bears’ has many displays including antique and limited edition bears, as well as bear paintings, sculpture, posters and collectibles. The museum highlights work by some of the worlds most imaginative bear designers working with various materials. The museum sponsors community events throughout the year including teas, workshops and bear shows.
