The Origins of Madame Tussauds

The Madame Tussauds Museum we know today is the first in a series of similar institutions. Created by Madame Tussaud (without an "s" at the end) herself, the original museum was located just around the corner from Marylebone Road, a few steps from the current location. Madame Tussaud, a pioneering French artist in the art of wax figure-making, created her first model in 1777. At a time when photography did not yet exist, these wax figures were heavily criticized for their excessive realism, which was considered unsuitable for capturing the grandeur of historical or political figures. She eventually decided to establish her itinerant exhibition in a permanent structure in the English capital. Opened in 1835 and featuring 400 wax figures, this pioneering museum was an immediate success.

Some of these original creations are still visible today, placed alongside modern pop stars, top athletes, contemporary political figures, fictional characters, and many more. The smallest details of each mannequin are created with the same meticulousness as Madame Tussaud's original works. Want to take a selfie with a president or a prince? You now know where that's possible.

Madame Tussauds enjoyable experience.
Madame Tussauds a lovely couple of hours with my 11 year old granddaughter. I had not been since my children were small. It is now a much better and great experience with a simple ride and 3D theatre show added. She loved it and could touch the famous people and take lots of photos. Also loved having a wax model of her hand done.
