A presentation on the
topic:
MADAME
TUSSAUD’S
MUSEUM
Madame Tussaud’s is the most popular and talked about wax
museum in the world. There are wax models of the famous and
infamous, both living and dead, from every walk of life. David
Beckham, Madonna, Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Charlie Chaplin,
Jack the Ripper… There is no other place where you can see all
the celebrities at once, even if they are only wax figure.
The wax figures are
standing and sitting,
and sometimes even
moving and talking.
Computer-controlled
figures (they are
called audio-
animatronics) are
especially popular
with the visitors.
There are several halls at Madame Tussaud’s. Highlights
include the Grand Hall, the Chamber of Horrors and ‘The
Spirit of London’ exhibition.
IN THE GRAND HALL YOU WILL FIND ALL KINDS OF CELEBRITIES,
THE GRAND HALL
FROM PRESIDENTS TO POP STARS.
There is a special place for the Royal
Family here too.
The politicians stand
in solemn silence
watching each
other.
A very strange company
indeed: Winston Churchill,
Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin,
Tony Blair, Vladimir Putin…
New models are
being produced all
the time while the
old ones are
quietly removed
from display.
Over the years hundreds of celebrities have made their way to Madame
Tussaud’s studio. Most people agree to be portrayed but some refuse.
Mother Teresa was one of the few who refused saying her work was
important, not her person.
THE CHAMBER OF HORROR
EERIEST PLACE IN THE WHOLE MUSEUM. NO WONDER
THE CHAMBER OF HORRORS IS PROBABLY THE
VISITORS ARE QUIETER THERE THAN IN OTHER
PLACES.
Count Dracula greets you at the entrance to
the dark cellar full of villains and their
victims, as well as the instrument of torture.
An eerie reconstruction of one of the streets
of London stalked by Jack the Ripper forms
the centrepiece of the exhibition. One of his
six victims – Catherine Eddowes – lies in a
pool of blood.
Here you
can also
see
Madame
Tussaud’s
original
exhibition
of relies
from the
French
Revolution
– the death
masks of
French
nobility and
the
guillotine
blade that
was used to
behead
Marie
Antoinette
…
THE SPIRIT OF LONDON
‘The spirit of London’ exhibition covers a period of more than
400 years and spans London’s history from Elizabethan times
to the present day.
Sights, sounds and
even smells of
combine to tell you
the colourful story of
Britain’s capital city.
Visitors climb into a
‘Time Taxi’ and begin
their historical
journey…
First you visit an
Elizabethan theatre,
then an old tavern
where the great
Shakespeare is
working at Hamlet…
You’ll go through the
Plague and the Great Fire,
you’ll see St. Paul’s
Cathedral being built…
There are more than 70
figures in ‘The Spirit of
London’ exhibition. Many
of them are animated:
they ‘breathe’, talk and
move.

• It costs about 40, 000 dollars to make a wax

head.
