more than 2.5 million people every year. This museum is located in London close to the

Baker Street where the house of the well-known fiction detective, Sherlock Holmes, is

situated.

Although the museum is one of the tourist attractions in London, Marie Tussaud,

the founder of the museum, was French. Young Marie worked in Strasbourg for Dr.

Philipp Curtis, a wax modeler. Firstly, she helped him to organize an exhibition in Paris

and then started doing models herself. She made her first wax model (Voltaire) being

only 17 years old!

After the death of her teacher, Marie inherited the collection of models with

which she moved to Great Britain. Her first exhibition took place on Baker Street and

consisted of no more than 30 models. In 1884, the museum was transferred to a new

place where it is still located.

There are several different halls in the unique museum: “The chamber of

horrors”, “Grand Hall”, “The spirit of London”. The first one is the most thrilling place

of the museum where the models of villains and their victims are presented. The second

one exhibits different historical, political, military figures. And the last one is dedicated

to the history of London. There is also a separate hall for stars’ models.

That’s why every day hundreds of people stay in a long queue to enter Madam

Tussaud’s and to see their favourite actors, singers, members of the Royal Family and

many other characters and celebrities made of wax that amaze with their resemblance to

reality. This museum gives an opportunity to see either great people of past decades or

our contemporaries.
