Teddy museum

The world's first teddy museum was opened in 1986 by the art historian and collector Florentine C. Bredow in Berlin on Kurfürstendamm. From 2002 to 2010 this museum was located in the Bavarian courtyard , where the collection was presented in different rooms of a cellar vault, referred to by the museum as "Bear Caves".

The collection includes around 5,000 bears, including very rare and valuable teddy bears that are unique in the world, making it the largest of their kind in the world. Bears of all sizes and shapes with and without built-in voices, large shaggy brown bears, panda bears and long-haired cuddly toys can also be seen like mini teddies, for example a crocheted little bear only three centimeters long. The museum also houses other soft toys , including prominent animals such as the Marsupilami by the French comic artist André Franquin or the plumpaquatsch from the children's program of the same name, which was produced in the 1970s.
