An update from our beloved bears.
We are monitoring the situation closely. At this time @DinosaursDorch and @TutExUK are remaining open and we are doing all we can so visitors can have a safe and enjoyable experience.
Books, books and more books. We try to keep our shop full of adult and children's Egyptian themed books. One of our most popular is Awful Egyptians from the Horrible Histories series. Happy #WorldBookDay
Harry and the Dinosaurs, Captain Flynn and the Pirate Dinosaurs, Dino Wars. There are some fantastic Dinosaur books. This #worldbookday here’s a throwback to when author @metcalfwriter joined us at the museum to share his book Dino Wars and sign a few books.
We love reading and telling stories at the Teddy Bear Museum. One of our favourites is The Bear Who Went Boo by @davidwalliams . What’s your favourite bear book? 🐻 📚
Happy #WorldBookDay#DavidWalliams
We had some recent visitors come to the museum and they produced this fantastic vlog about their experience. Take a look into the visit by Catie & Stacey. @caceylake

The First Emperor's Terracotta Warriors is a stunning exhibition in Dorchester, Dorset.
This small but inspiring exhibition brings together all the wonder of the discovery of these amazing treasures of ancient China. #terracottawarriors#terracotaarmy
This exquisite head of the young Tutankhamun shows him being reborn from a blue lotus, symbolic of rebirth and immortality. This lovely head was one of the first objects found by Howard Carter.
This beautiful replica sits in our treasury room.
