Madame Tussauds Museum is the most amazing wax museum in the world that attracts 2.5 million people every year. This museum is situated in London, close to Baker Street, where you can find the house of the well-known detective Sherlock Holmes. This museum is one of the most visited tourist attractions in London. Marie Tussaud, the founder of the museum, was French. Young Marie worked in Strasbourg for Philipp Curtis, a wax modeller. Firstly, she helped him to organise an exhibition of wax figures in Paris, and then she started doing models herself. She made her first wax model of Voltaire, a famous French writer, 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 in Baker Street, and it consisted of about 30 models. In 1884, the museum was transferred to a new place, where it is still situated. Every day hundreds of people stay in a long queue to enter Madam Tussaud’s and to see many favourite actors, singers, members of the Royal Family, and many other characters and celebrities made of wax that amaze with their resemblance to reality.
