Madame Tussault Museum

The first branch of the world-famous Madame Tussauds wax museum. It was opened in 1970. Here, the Madame Tussauds Museum is not only a display of wax figures, but also a well-staged show. In it, with the help of characters who talk and move, the Amsterdam of past centuries is recreated.

The rooms upstairs are dedicated to the history of Holland. From the darkness, a large speaking figure appears before the audience, which is hung by the symbols of the country. There are canals, cows, ships, mills, tulips.

The talking figure tells about the struggle with the conquerors from Spain, the history of the country, and other historical events. Here you can see a spice merchant, famous and rich characters, peasants in national clothes. There is even a small canal, and a fisherman floats on it in a boat.

There are also exhibits traditional for Madame Tussauds: political leaders of different countries (including the Dutch Queen Beatrix), movie stars, popular singers, artists, writers, athletes and many others.

Everyone can also take part in the manufacture of wax figures in a mini-workshop located right here.
