What is Madame Tussauds?

Madame Tussauds is originally a London-based wax museum with smaller locations in several other major cities, including Amsterdam, Bangkok, Beijing, Berlin, Delhi, Hollywood, Hong Kong, Istanbul, Las Vegas, London, New York, Orlando, San Francisco, Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo, Washington DC and Wuhan.

The original museum was created by a wax sculptor named Marie Tussaud in 1835. It has now featured political and entertainment figures such as Ariana Grande, Amitabh Bachchan, Sachin Tendulkar, Kim Kardashian, Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio, Scarlett Johansson, Angelina Jolie, Asha Bhosle, Kapil Dev, Mary Kom and many many more.

With its huge assortment of A-list celebrities exhibited in the wax museum, Madame Tussauds has left tourists delighted and star-struck since it first opened in 1835. It’s no surprise that Madame Tussauds is still regarded as a favorite tourist site in London after witnessing Kate Winslet and Daniel Craig up and personal or sitting and having a photo taken with Her Majesty the Queen.
