TEDDY mania has hit Worcester County Museum as bears of all shapes and sizes went on display.
They have comforted and soothed generations of children and this exhibition celebrates the teddy bear's 100th birthday.
Local collector and expert Doreen James helped transform the museum's temporary exhibition gallery into teddy heaven with bears of every size, colour, age and shape.
The oldest bear on display is 94 and the largest, at a massive 6ft 6ins, is the Full Cavalry Bear, which is on loan from Shropshire manufacturers Merrythought.
The Teddy Bear Century exhibition can be seen until Wednesday, September 11.
Worcester County Museum is open from 10am to 5pm, Monday to Thursday, and from 2pm to 5pm, on Friday and Sunday.
Admission costs £2.50 for adults, £1.20 for children and OAPs, and a family ticket, for two adults and three children, costs £6.50.
