The Bunny Museum
The Bunny Museum was a museum dedicated to rabbits that first opened to the public in 1998, in Pasadena, California.
Prior to 2025, the museum held more than 40,550 rabbit-related items across 16 galleries in a 7,000 square foot space. The museum held the world record for the "Largest Collection of Rabbit Related Items" since 1999 when it was initially acknowledged by Guinness World Records. At that point in time, it housed 8,473 pieces of rabbit memorabilia. The slogan of the museum was "The Hoppiest Place in the World." The building was destroyed by the Eaton Fire in early 2025, but the museum plans to reopen.
History
The museum was co-founded by married couple Candace Frazee and Steve Lubanski, who started collecting the items after they began a tradition of giving each other new rabbit-themed gifts every day. Originally housed in the couple's home in Pasadena, the museum relocated to larger premises in Altadena in 2017.In 2018, the Los Angeles Times wrote of the museum: "The rabbit array may seem to tilt to kitsch, but the vast stockpile harbors insight and imparts a quirky sort of gravitas."
