The Bunny Museum, in Altadena, California, began with a spontaneously uttered pet name. âI started calling him my honey bunny,â says Candace Frazee of her partner and museum co-founder, Steve Lubanski. âYou know, youâre just kissing away, and you just come out with it.â Because of the nickname, Lubanski got Frazee a plush bunny for Valentineâs Day. In return, Frazee bought Lubanski a ceramic bunny for Easter. Then things escalated, and the couple â who got married in a bunny-themed ceremony â started exchanging bunny gifts on a daily basis. Now their collection contains over 40,000 bunny items and is housed in its own museum.
