Where else can you stand face to face with the Queen or chill out with the Beatles…how about travelling back in time to meet Henry VIII?
At Madam Tussauds, the famous wax-figure cabinet this and many more is possible.
Since more than 200 years visitors went to see the famous historical and celebrity figures.
It all started in France, when Madame Tussaud learned how to make models out of wax.
Since 1777 she started to model figures of famous people at that time like Voltaire, Jean- Jacque Rousseau or Benjamin Franklin.
During the French Revolution she was making death masks of the executed aristocrats.
When she came to Britain in the early 19th century, there was a huge public interest in her wax figures and it has been ever since.
The exhibition is constantly growing and visitors now have the chance to ride in a time- travelling taxi, which takes them 400 years back in time through the history of London.
For those who are not afraid, the chamber of horrors shows cruel mass murders, criminals and the victims of the French Revolution.
Although with around 22 £ the tickets are not cheap, it is definitely worth to experience the exhibition.
