One of London’s most consistently popular attractions, Madame Tussauds has the finest collection of wax models of contemporary and historical figures in the world.
Painstakingly created, each model takes up to three months to prepare, and, in the case of models of living subjects, must be indistinguishable from the actual person before being approved for display.
Madame Tussaud’s wax museum has grown to become a major London tourist attraction. It has expanded with branches in Amsterdam, Berlin, Las Vegas, New York City, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Washington DC, with an additional location scheduled to open in Hollywood in 2009.
Wax figures at Tussauds include historical and royal figures, film stars, sports stars and famous murderers. Known as “Madame Tussauds” museums, they are owned by a leisure company called Merlin Entertainments, following the acquisition of The Tussauds Group in May 2007.
HOURS: Mon.- Fri. 10am – 5:30pm Sat. – Sun. 9:30am – 5:30pm
