The Bunny Museum
Rabbit collectibles in all shapes and sizes multiply quickly in this museum, the private home of Candace Frazee and her husband, Steve Lubanski. It all started 16 years ago when Frazee called Lubanski her honey bunny. He gave her a stuffed bunny for Valentine’s Day, she reciprocated with a white porcelain bunny for Easter and the two have been “bunny hunting” for collectibles since.
A topiary bunny from a Rose Parade float adorns the lawn of the couple’s 1928 Spanish bungalow. A bucket of chalk encourages visitors to leave their creations on the driveway. “Sometimes it gets totally filled. It doesn’t get washed away until it rains,” says Frazee. The couple’s home is stuffed with more than 24,000 bunny decorations, bunnythemed furniture, books and toiletries. And, yes, a handful of real bunnies, too. When school groups visit, Frazee explains how all museums start with private collections. She also discusses how to care for real bunnies and what they like to eat.
The museum is open by appointment 365 days a year (even holidays).
