Since we’re in the Easter spirit, the folks at The Bunny Museum in Altadena are celebrating the bunny hub’s 26th year with a special exhibit – GOOBA, or Gallery of Original Bunny Art.
Everything in the gallery – all related to bunnies — is handcrafted, handmade, found art, and paintings, drawings, and sculptures by visitors, said Candace Frazee, president and co-founder of The Bunny Museum. Some contemporary art pieces can be unusual to some visitors, but nonetheless, they are of bunnies, Frazee added.
The place is said to be the world’s only museum about bunnies. And there are a lot of them. You can see more than 45,000 items that made it to the Guinness World Records.
The art exhibit includes three art pieces by visual artists Lucile Littot from Paris, France, and six more oil paintings by Marissa Holmberg of Ontario, Calif.
Frazee noted that “Bunnies are more than just for Easter. Bunnies are a part of our everyday lives, hoppin’ from literature to film to advertising to slang. Bunnies have world history. Learn who, what, why, when, where. And how!”
The museum exists to display bunnies that appear in literature, art, and nature. Open since 1998, the museum is the legal steward—not the owner—of the works of art in its possession.
Frazee said The Bunny Museum began when, on a Valentine’s Day in 1993, her boyfriend gifted her a white plush bunny with red polka-dotted ears. gifted on Valentine’s Day. She’s always called him her Honey Bunny.
“Little did Steve Lubanski and Candace Frazee know then that one day their love for each other would inspire a testament to everlasting love greater than Taj Mahal,” Frazee said.
The museum is open noon to 6 p.m. Monday to Saturday; noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $12; $10 for ages 65 and older and military; $8 children 13 and younger; and free for ages 4 and younger, as well as members. The Bunny Museum is at 2605 Lake Ave., Altadena. For more information, visit
