Over 400 lifesize wax models of the rich and famous are exhibited in Madame Tussauds. Lifesize replicas of stars of the stage and screen, musicians and monarchs are displayed alongside footballers and politicians. Madame Tussaud was born in Strasbourg in 1761 and after inheriting a wax museum from Philippe Curtius in 1794, moved to London to set up an exhibition on London’s Baker Street. Following her death in 1850, her grandsons moved the display to its present location on Marylebone Road. Today, visitors can have their photo taken with the likes of filmstar Marilyn Monroe, Australian popstar Kylie Minogue, footballer David Beckham and even members of the British Royal Family. They can also descend into the Chamber of Horrors to see some of history’s most notorious criminals and various torture instruments.
