Bobo, Natural history museum in Seattle, United States.

The Museum contains exhibits dedicated to Bobo, a western lowland gorilla that resided at Woodland Park Zoo from 1953 to 1968.

Following his death in 1968, Bobo's preserved remains were displayed at the Museum of History and Industry before transfer to Burke Museum for research purposes.

The Museum collection reflects the relationship between Seattle residents and Bobo, who became a central figure in local entertainment during the 1950s and 1960s.

Bank of America cardholders receive free admission during the first weekend of each month through the Museums on Us program.

The Museum preserves the taxidermied pelt of Bobo, which underwent restoration in 1997 and relocated during the institution's move in December 2012.
