Teddy Bear Museum, Jeju March 2015


One of the highlights of my trip to Jeju was going to the Teddy Bear Museum.
I would always see this getting featured in numerous Korean dramas and being the teddy bear lover that I am, I got so ecstatic that finally I'd be able to see it in person ~yahooo! :))




This gigantic bear is the first thing you will see upon entering. 




There are 3 levels inside the museum starting from the top going down ;)

First stop is the antique teddy bear & photo exhibition.








Me with her Royal Highness and Teddy Bear Chaplin ;)




More teddies at the 2nd floor!

The very first designs of a Teddy bear from 1901-1910

You could see how colorful the bears are now compared before!



Aside from the historical side of the Teddy, there are also models depicting famous characters and personalities like this Disneyland version.
