An iconic wax museum named after its founder, Marie Tussaud, dates back to the second half of the 18th century. Among the first figures Marie made herself were e.g. Voltaire and Benjamin Franklin.
Today, you can find Madame Tussauds museums all over the world. They display wax doppelgangers of well known historical figures, artists, scientists and philosophers as well as celebrities or movie characters. This wax museum holds almost hundred figures of both Chinese-related as well as Western celebrities.
The visitors are encouraged to pose with their favourite figures and take pictures. The figures are often arranged so that the visitors could join them in a group for a cool picture.
