Answer: $2.1 million

Picture a lovely day at an auction house in swanky Monaco. A Louis Vuitton-designed Steiff Teddy Bear is the next item up for sale. "Oohs" and "ahhs" fill the gallery, and the glitterati are giddy with glee. Finally, someone recovers his or her composure and snatches up the bear for a mere $2.1 million dollars. Gussied-up teddies are not that unusual: a Harlequin Steiff sold for $75,826 in 1999, while a diamond-eyed little bear went for $84,000. But, come on, $2.1 million? Seriously?

Answer: Seoul, South Korea

Located at 126 Namsangongwon-gil in the North Seoul Tower, two huge galleries feature teddies recreating everything from palace life in the olden days to the bustling streets of contemporary Seoul.

Visitors can learn how kimchi is made, how colorful traditional Korean weddings can be, and how Psy made 'Gangnam Style' a universal hit in 2012.

Other teddy bear museums may be found in Santa Barbara (California), Naples (Florida), and Honolulu (Hawaii) in the US.
