Teddy bears as historical storytellers? It’s not a fairytale but the actual premise behind the Teddyville Museum in Penang.

The venue features Malaysia’s first and largest collection of teddy bears from various nations and eras. The collection dates back as early as the 1900s. The bears come in a variety of shapes and sizes – from miniatures to human-sized!
