Joanne Bear Museum1st Hall / 2nd Hall / 3rd Hall

Intro

Joanne Bear Museum opened its doors in 2008, and its location provides visitors with ocean and mountain views, along with a unique collection of handmade teddy bears. That all makes visiting experience unforgettable.

Intro

When you walk towards the entrance of the museum, you can experience all four seasons of Jeju Island. Walk down the alley in late spring or early summer, and you will get a chance to enjoy Hydrangea flower’s pastel blossoms, visit the museum during winter, and you’ll witness Camellia flower blossoming season. These could serve as two more reasons to stop by Joanne Bear Museum.
