Background
History
The museum displays antique, famous, and other teddy bears. It initially opened in 1990, in Bournemouth under the name of 'The Bournemouth Bears', but moved to a Victorian building in Dorchester in 1995, at this point being renamed as Teddy Bear House. It relocated once more, and was renamed as The Dorset Teddy Bear Museum. It is regarded as the oldest teddy bear museum in Britain. The Dorset Teddy Bear Museum is owned by World Heritage, who also own the Terracotta Warriors Museum, Dinosaur Museum, and the Tutankhamun Exhibition, also located in Dorchester.
