Madame Tussaud

     once you hear the word museum , your brain will show a dusty picture of old stuff and some dinosaur bones at its best, well that must have been fun for the first couple of times you go there. But it gets boring as times passes. But I can assure you this museum won't be as boring. It is a museum where you can see Hitler , Nelson Mandela and Charlie Chaplin! 

It is Madame Tussauds, a wax museum founded by wax sculptor Marie Tussaud - known as "Madame Tussaud"- , Madame Tussauds is a major tourist attraction in London, displaying waxworks of historical and royal figures, film stars, sports stars and infamous murderers. stands in Marylebone Road in London –and has other branches in some major cities- under the great Planetarium – now known as star dome- with almost 400 different figures. One of the main attractions of her museum was the Chamber of Horrors. This part of the exhibition included victims of the French Revolution and newly created figures of murderers and other criminals . 

More than 500 million people worldwide have visited a Madame Tussauds – that’s more than the population of North America and Australia combined- no doubt so many people visit the museum, the figures are so 
precise And realistic . they use Red silk thread is used to create the veins on each eyeball, And Knotted rope is used to create the look of veins on the bodies! And they insert Each strand of hair is inserted individually, taking approximately five weeks to complete each head.
