About TeddyVille Museum Penang

Going on a vacation in Penang? Here I’ll tell you about one of the most popular attractions in the city: TeddyVille Museum Penang! As Malaysia’s first and the largest teddy bear exhibit, TeddyVille Museum Penang has attracted both domestic and international tourists to embrace and appreciate the blend of art and history displayed by teddy bears. This museum is beyond a unique and cute exhibit; it’s about Penang (and Malaysia) culture and past stories presented by its major collection. You would see various displays of teddy bears depict most iconic sites in the city, such as Kek Lok Si Temple, George Town UNESCO Heritage Area, Fort Cornwallis, and Penang Hill.

Your tour won’t stop there–then, you would also witness how the dioramas are designed to cater the historical narratives of Penang. Explaining different periods of the history: pre-colonial, the arrival of the British, WW II, and modern day, this historical section has captivated mostly adults and perhaps history enthusiasts. However, Penang history wouldn’t just be something you find in the museum. There are plenty of examples of teddy bears from over a hundred years ago throughout the world allowing you to get insights on their histories and significance. It’s pretty pleasurable to know how the design of teddy bears has evolved over the years, so a thing you can’t miss in this section: take notice of the description boards labeled on each display.

Lastly, to enhance your cute but educational adventure of teddy bears, check if there are any workshops or events hosted in the museum during your visit. The workshops would give you a chance to make or decorate your own teddy bears to take home. After hours of all of those activities, the perfect thing to end the tour is unwinding in the museum cafe for some tidbits.
