At a Glance: Discover the unique world of stitched wildlife dolls at Jeju Teseum (제주테지움), a fun and interactive museum for all ages.
Visiting Jeju Island, I stumbled upon the Jeju Teseum (제주테지움), and I was immediately drawn in by its colorful exterior. This museum, dedicated to stitched animal dolls, offers an imaginative twist on wildlife exhibits. From the moment you enter, the playful atmosphere makes it clear that this is not your typical museum experience.
The main attraction at Jeju Teseum is its impressive collection of stitched dolls representing various animals, both land and sea. The first floor features a wild animal zone where visitors can take photos alongside life-sized teddy bear versions of lions, tigers, and elephants. It’s a great spot for family photos or just a bit of fun.
On the second floor, you’ll find an array of marine creatures like dolphins, octopuses, and flamingos crafted from soft materials. One highlight for kids is the 4-meter-tall teddy bear in Building B’s play area. Children can run around freely and enjoy watching a teddy bear-themed drama called “New Heart.” if you want some whimsy mixed with creativity, this place delivers.
What could be better about Jeju Teseum (제주테지움)?
The main downside is that it feels more like a playhouse than a museum in the traditional sense. While it’s engaging for kids, adults might find some sections lacking in depth or educational value. That said, I have to mention that the vibrant decor and stuffed animals are undeniably charming.
Honestly, if you’re hoping for more interactive exhibits or detailed information about the wildlife represented here, you might leave feeling slightly underwhelmed. But hey, it’s all part of the unique charm that draws families to this creative space.

Who will enjoy this the most?
This place is primarily geared towards families with young children who enjoy imaginative play and creative storytelling through art. If you’re traveling solo or with adults seeking deeper cultural insights into Korean wildlife or art forms, you might want to consider other attractions first.
That said, if you’ve got kids in tow looking for something engaging to do on Jeju Island — especially if it’s rainy — then I recommend setting aside about 40 minutes for your visit here; it’s worth it just for the photo ops alone!
