"My teddy bear"

From December 4, 2024 to June 22, 2025, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs celebrates the teddy bear, the emblematic toy of childhood. The exhibition traces its history, from the first mohair and straw models to modern-day doudous, through an exceptional collection of 400 pieces.

Born at the beginning of the 20th century in Germany and the United States, the teddy bear has conquered the hearts of children and adults alike, becoming a universal symbol of tenderness. The exhibition also explores the teddy bear's links with popular culture, through icons such as Winnie the Pooh and Paddington, and its current role as a symbol of the fight to preserve nature.

The visit lasts 1h30 and takes place at the Musée des Arts décoratifs, 107 rue de Rivoli, Paris. Bookings can be made online.

Immerse yourself in this adventure between gentleness, nostalgia and reflection on our world.

To get there, take metro line 7 at Pont Marie (a 5-minute walk from the hotel) towards La Courneuve - 8 Mai 1945. Get off at the Palais Royal - Musée du Louvre station and walk about 5 minutes to the Musée des Arts décoratifs.
