Development history

Since its opening more than 200 years ago, Madame Tussauds Wax Museum has been popular, attracting millions of tourists. There are many reasons for the longevity of Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, but the most important one is people's strong curiosity. Through contact with historical celebrities, tourists will get an exciting and strange journey. Here, tourists can really feel the celebrities of various periods. Here, people have a kind of illusion of time reversal, and can experience the times and events of these celebrities.

From France to England

The legendary history of Madame Tussauds can be traced back to Paris in 1770. It was in Paris that Madame Tussauds began to learn wax making techniques from Dr. Philippe Cortes. During the French Revolution, Madame Tussaud's craft withstood a severe test: she was forced to make death masks for the nobles who had been executed. In the early 19th century, Madame Tussauds came to England with her wax figure for a tour exhibition.

News communication

At that time, news mainly depended on oral communication. The display of Madame Tussauds Wax figure became a kind of flowing newspaper. By showing the big names in the front page headlines, ordinary people can learn the latest international news. These valuable wax figures make the major events in Europe, including the French Revolution and the Napoleonic War, vivid. The political figures made by realistic means and the frightened wax figures in the terror room are widely spread, causing people's imagination. In 1835, Madame Tussauds established the permanent wax museum in Baker Street, London. For just sixpence, visitors can get in touch with big people. In 1884, the museum moved to its current site, maryborn road.
