Madame Tussauds London
Madame Tussauds in Marylebone in London is one of the world's most famous and visited tourist attractions, a wax figure museum displaying extraordinarily lifelike wax sculptures of celebrities, royalty, politicians, historical figures and sporting stars in interactive and theatrical settings. The collection was founded by Marie Tussaud, a Swiss-born wax sculptor who learned her craft in Paris and brought her collection to Britain in 1802, eventually establishing a permanent exhibition in London in 1835. The current attraction on Marylebone Road has expanded across several large interconnected exhibition spaces, with themed areas covering film, sport, music, royalty and history and interactive experiences including a Marvel Universe 4D experience and various film-related attractions. Madame Tussauds attracts millions of visitors annually and remains one of the defining experiences of a visit to London, combining entertainment, celebrity culture and the extraordinary technical artistry of wax sculpture.
