A certain someone 🧸 insisted we go to Opening day
Of the Teddy Bear 🧸 exhibit at Musee des Arts Decoratifs/MAD.
Who ever owned a stuffed bear 🧸
And who hasn’t?
Bear graphics, bear books 📚, bear acrobats, bears of all sizes including The giant Gobelins Teddy Bears.
11 rooms on the 3rd floor
Containing 400 bears of all denominations and dominions.
The exhibit is on from November 4 - June 22, 2025.
And not just French bears thanks to 👏President ‘Teddy’ Roosevelt, who saved a bear cub 🐻 while hunting in the woods in 1902.
In Germany, a toy brand, Steiff, started by Margarete Steiff launched a new articulated mohair bear 🧸
Do not to forget prehistoric cave-painted bears 🐻
‘
‘Able to stand upright and imitate human gestures (plus ride bicycles 🚲)
I can highly recommend this exhibit at MAD & so does Bear 🐻
Wear animal 🐆 prints when you go.
Isn’t it funny I should bump into an automated Polar bear on rue de Seine going home! Karmic destiny I guess 🐻 🥰
Please do a watercolor about this exhibit 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 🐻

Almost makes me want a Teddy Bear. J.
ReplyDeleteNext time I visit Julia, get the spare room ready for the new bear 🧸
DeleteLove Steiff! When I was a little girl, my dad would always bring me one when he came home from his business trips. I have quite a collection!
ReplyDeleteLucky 🍀 you Beth
DeleteI have never owned a Steiff 😭
Definitely a deprived childhood 😐
I adored my teddy bear when I was a child! Isabelle
