Meet Arthur the Bear

Meet our Museum mascot, Arthur a stuffed Siberian brown bear with his very own Twitter account and lots of famous friends!

A well loved bear by many residents of Haslemere over the years, Arthur is a prime example of the Victorian attitude to wildlife – his original role in life was as a dumb waiter. Nowadays the museum operates a programme of preservation and natural history research.

See what he is up to and follow him on Twitter tell him all about your day at the Museum!
