The Museum at
Petersfield in Hampshire, England, was founded by Judy Sparrow in 1984.
Judy had been collecting bears for several years before that, and they'd
soon spilt out of the display case she devoted to them in the corner of
her antiques shop. By the mid-1980s, Judy realised that more and more
people were becoming interested in bears, and she decided to devote the
whole of her antiques shop to them (this was in the days when antique
bears were a lot easier to buy and sell!)
