The "Wings Over The Rockies" museum in Denver, CO, has one of these escape capsules, plus a little display about development and testing. The display does mention that they used bears in testing of the capsules.

If you're at all interested in military or naval aviation, you should visit Wings Over the Rockies. It's like nothing else.
