Teddyville Museum Penang
About This Museum
Believe it or not, Malaysia's very first teddy bear collection isn't housed in a grand, imposing building, but in a charmingly converted bungalow that feels more like a visit to a quirky relative's house. Inside, the air is cool and faintly nostalgic, with plush inhabitants peering from every nook. You'll find everything from a fragile 1905 Steiff bear, its mohair worn soft by time, to bears dressed as local hawker food vendors. It’s an unexpectedly heartwarming journey through history, one cuddly artifact at a time.
Collection Highlights
Look for the rare antique Steiff bears from the early 1900s and the uniquely Malaysian exhibits featuring teddy bears dressed in traditional costumes or posing with miniature bowls of laksa and char kway teow.
Visitor Information
You'll find it tucked away on Jalan Low Yat in Batu Ferringhi—a perfect, air-conditioned escape after a morning on the beach.
Architecture & Building
The museum is set in a converted residential bungalow, giving it an unassuming and welcoming, home-like feel rather than a formal institutional one.
