Madame Tussauds Wax Museum

Madame Tussauds Wax Museum has a beautiful New York branch in the heart of Manhattan. The museum opened in October 2000 and is still very popular. The museum occupies 10 floors of a building in Times Square on 42nd Street between 7 and 8th Avenues.

At Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in New York City, you will see over 400 sculptures of celebrities who seem to be about to speak to you. Among the exhibits are mainly American stars, but there are also Europeans. There's even Mikhail Gorbachev. There are no fences in the museum, so each figure can be approached and photographed. For example, you can put your head on John Travolta’s shoulder or kiss Marilyn Monroe gently. The only exhibit of the museum, which is stored behind glass, is the figure of Adolf Hitler after an incident when a visitor tried to tear the sculpture's head off.

Celebrities at the wax museum in New York include presidents and politicians, including Golda Meir and Yasser Arafat standing peacefully alongside. Also in the museum is the figure of Madame Tussauds in a modest black robe. All figures for this museum are made in England and transported to New York.

The New York branch is also interesting because there is a special hall dedicated to New York itself. The vast territory of the museum also includes the famous horror room, where actors in disguise work, depicting wax figures and suddenly come to life. After visiting the entire impressive exposition, you can visit some of the best souvenir and bookstores in the museum.

Tickets to Madame Tussauds wax museum are nowhere cheap. New York is no exception. The price for an adult ticket is $36. For pensioners and children - about $ 30. In addition, the city tax is paid 8%. Despite the price, which never drops by more than 15%, the rare tourist will say he wasted the money. A vivid impression is provided here.
