Collection

The museum displays over 6,000 exhibits (teddy bears, dolls, play shops, dollhouses and miniatures) in arranged vignettes. It also regularly organizes special exhibitions on individual themes. In particular, the teddy bear collection is unique the world over in terms of variety and quality.

Gisela Oeri, honorary president of local football club FC Basel, is heavily involved in the museum on a financial level.
