In New York, Madame Tussauds’ wax figure collection is impressive but the museum also offers a lot of interactive activities. You have 80,000 square feet and over 200 wax figures to see. I have made a selection of what to see and to do in the museum here below.

History of Madame Tussauds

Maria Tussauds, a Frenchwoman, born in Strasbourg, made her first wax figure in 1778. It was of a famous writer and philosopher François-Marie Arouet Voltaire. In 1802, she left France for England to exhibit her wax figures there. After her death, her sons inherited the exhibition and it was moved to its current location of Madame Tussauds in London in 1884. Since then, 25 Madame Tussauds have been opened across the world in different capitals.

Madame Tussauds was opened in New York in 2000. There are many reasons behind the success of Madame Tussauds but curiosity is what draws most people in. The wax figures allow the visitors to take an extraordinary journey through a history of fame and power. Visitors can re-live important times and moments that have shaped the world into what it is today.
