Madame Tussauds is a wax museum founded in 1835 by French wax sculptor Marie Tussaud in London, spawning similar museums in major cities around the world. While it used to be spelled as "Madame Tussaud's"; the apostrophe is no longer used.[2][3] Madame Tussauds is a major tourist attraction in many cities, displaying the waxworks of famous and historical figures, as well as popular film and television characters.
Since opening its doors in 1835, the iconic Madame Tussauds has left visitors in awe of its glitzy array of A-list celebrities featured in the wax museum. It’s a firm favourite with tourists and a must-visit when you’re in the city.
Expect to walk the red carpet with Benedict Cumberbatch, meet the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, take to the Golden Globes with Priyanka Chopra and have tea with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. However, there are more than just wax figures in the museum. Visitors can meet their favourite superheroes in Marvel Universe 4D or try to escape a terrifying spaceship in Alien: Escape.
