    Millions and millions of people

    figures, Marie Tussaud, and was inaugurated
    in 1884.

    or film life are

    Tussauds was born
    in France and
    learned the art of
    sculpture from Dr. Philippe Curtius, in whose
    house she grew up. She made wax sculptures
    for the French nobility and her sculptures were
    famous in the French court. Her first exhibition

    La Palais Royal in Paris and the
    first works carved in wax were
    Voltaire and Benjamin Franklin.

    you’ll believe that you
    are face to face with a
    real person.
    Measurements and
    exact photos are needed
    before work on the figure can begin. Finally, hundreds of hours after the
    careful job, its show time for the finished figure at Madame Tussauds
    museum.
