  • Star Wars at MT
    NEW STAR WARS AT MADAME TUSSAUDS UNIQUE INTERACTIVE STAR WARS EXPERIENCE OPENS MAY 2015 A NEW multi-million pound experience opens at Madame Tussauds London in May, with a major new interactive Star Wars attraction. Created in close collaboration with Disney and Lucasfilm, the unique, immersive experience brings to life some of film’s most powerful moments featuring extraordinarily life- like wax figures in authentic walk-in sets. Fans can star alongside their favourite heroes and villains of Star Wars Episodes I-VI, with dynamic special effects and dramatic theming adding to the immersion as they encounter 16 characters in 11 separate sets. The attraction takes the Madame Tussauds experience to a whole new level with an experience that is about much more than the wax figures. Guests will become truly immersed in the films as they step right into Yoda's swamp as Luke Skywalker did in Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back or feel the fiery lava of Mustafar as Anakin turns to the dark side in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Spanning two floors, the experience covers a galaxy of locations from the swamps of Dagobah and Jabba’s Throne Room to the flight deck of the Millennium Falcon. Fans can come face-to-face with sinister Stormtroopers; witness Luke Skywalker as he battles Darth Vader on the Death Star; feel the Force alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn when they take on Darth Maul on Naboo; join the captive Princess Leia and the evil Jabba the Hutt in his Throne Room; and hang out with Han Solo in the cantina before stepping onto the Millennium Falcon with the legendary Wookiee warrior, Chewbacca.

Since you don’t have a lifetime to spend, we’ve chosen the best that London has to offer.

It grew and grew, fed by legacies, discoveries, and purchases, until it became one of the most comprehensive collections of art and artifacts in the world. It’s impossible to take in this museum in a day.

  • Marie Grosholtz: Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum
    Marie Grosholtz: Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum Madame Tussauds Wax Museums can be found throughout the world. The history of Marie Grosholtz, better known by her married name, Madame Tussaud, is quite interesting. (Note: The apostrophe in Tussaud’s is no longer used.) Wax figures of effigies were not new, especially during the French revolution in the later 1700s. Marie Grosholtz was born in 1761. She was born in eastern France, Strasbourg. Marie’s father was a German soldier Marie’s father suffered a facial disfigurement in the wars he fought during the Seven Years’ War (1756‐1763). He was killed two months before Marie was born. The Seven Year’s War was a global conflict. It especially involved Britain and France. The war destroyed France’s supremacy in Europe, which eventually led to revolt and the overthrow of the monarchy. The French Revolution began in 1789. <historytoday.com> Marie’s mother, Anne Marie, moved and brought her up in Berne, Switzerland. Her mother was a housekeeper for Philippe Curtius. He was a doctor who also modeled wax heads and busts and ran a museum in Berne. Curtius with Marie and her mother moved to Paris. Curtius’ wax art became quite popular with the aristocrats. Marie learned the craft from Philippe and later became his assistant. She also served as an art tutor at Versailles to the sister of Louis XVI. <britanica.com> <historytoday.com> Upon the death of Phillippe Curtius in 1794, Marie inherited two of his museums. At that point in history, modeling death masks was common. Marie’s first wax figure was that of Voltaire.
