The curator of this entrancing museum, Judy Sparrow, started her collection in a charming 18th Century house in Dragon Street, Petersfield, in 1981. The number of bears grew so quickly that by 1984 the museum, the first of its kind in Britain, was opened.
Today, it is internationally known and the collection included teddy bears of all ages and sizes.
Opening times are Tuesday to Saturday inclusive: 10 am - 5 pm.
Admission is free.
