Homework Week 11

Korean Teddy Bear Museum 
What can be more cuter than a Teddy bear?
Millions of people around the world collect Teddy Bears and they seek out old, unique, and valuable teddy bears for their personal collections. The Jeju Teddy Bear Museum opened especially for the European collectors and is more exciting than ever with special "Teddy Bear" entertainment.

The Jeju Teddy Bear Museum opened on April 24, 2001. Here you can find everything you want to know about Teddy Bears! It contains two galleries, a museum gift shop, and a museum cafe. Also, on site is a museum bar/restaurant, a wonderful place to meet friends, family, and lovers. From the outside garden, there is a great view of Chungmoon Beach.

Teddy Bears have been loved and cherished since they were first introduced over 100 years ago. 

It's an amazing place, if you like teddy bears. :)

When you first enter the museum, you are introduced to the history of teddy bears. Did you know that "teddy" got its name from the US President Theodore Roosevelt?

You are looking at how some of the earliest teddy bears looked like!

After some history, it's just teddy bear madness. Basically, teddy bears in every setting and scenary that you can imagine :)
The Teddy Bear Museum lives up to its name, boasting quite an impressive variety that have been loved for more than a hundred years the world over. Inside the two galleries you can view the teddy bears from various countries.
Korean teddy bears getting married haha:))))
The really cool part of this museum is that, after going to the gift shop, there's even more to see outdoors.
Outdoors, there are various fountains, statues, etc. featuring bears! The fountain pictured above was interesting because at every hour bears come out of it and give a mini performance. It's kind of like those cuckoo clocks.

I hope that you'll have a chance to visit the museum one day :) You can have a great time there with your friends or  family!
