The armor now resides at a museum called the Menil Collection in Houston, Texas. The museum consists of collected artifacts and the private art of the Menil family.

I guess if bears had horror movies we would be the monsters.

Interesting read on the history of the suit. The actual purpose is not bear hunting, and is unknown.
