Madame Tussauds is a world-renowned institution with a lot to celebrate! Home to hundreds of exciting full-size wax figures, Madame Tussauds has a fascinating and colorful history dedicated to providing visitors with a fascinating close-up look at the world celebrities...Amsterdam is home for the most famous Madame Tussaud exposition of wax statues museum. The network of Madame Tussaud museums includes: London, New York, Las Vegas, Hong Kong and the one in Amsterdam. Open from 10 am to 6:30 pm Admission price: 23 EUR isn't particulary cheap. Beyond that price, the wax museum is wonderful, with the copies of the real life actors, singers, royalties and other celebrities (see full list here) that you can't distinguish from the real life. Great work from the people making the copies.
The name comes from the lady Marie Grosholz, later known as Madame Tussaud, and she born in Strasbourg in 1961. In 1770, Marie's mother's employer, a doctor named Philippe Curtius, opens an exhibition of life-size wax figurines at the Palais Royale, in Paris. This is where Marie learns the art of wax modelling from Philippe Curtius.
