History of Madame Tussauds Museum

Madame Tussauds is a wax museum with several units all over the world. Also located in Orlando, Los Angeles, New York and several other cities, but the first one is London. All of this, of course, with wax statues of famous people, characters from films and series, singers, sportsmen and women….

The whole history of the museum began a few centuries ago with Mme Marie Tussaud who gave her name to the attraction. The sculptor had her first exhibition of wax statues in 1835 and years later the Madame Tussauds Museum was born, which still works in the same building today!
