However, she was a ray of light for the people which is the right way to remember her by. Besides, recently with Season 4 of ‘The Crown’ dropping in and bringing the whole scandal back in scrutiny, it’s rather stinging and hard-hitting as in the Museum, Princess Diana is placed away from the Royals which will serve as a reminder of the whole drama which is rather sad and heart-breaking. Lady Di, stealing the show as always, the ‘People’s Princess’ does have an aura of her own, even in an immortalisation in wax. I was hoping for Steffi Graf, probably next time. The section was probably under repair cause none of the women in tennis were there either. Overall, I felt they could have hyped this section a bit more and made it stand out, even with these two. With London’s association to the game, I’d have hoped for a more varied tennis section and the fact that they didn’t have Roger Federer at the time was quite a bummer. Nadal and Boris Becker were the only ones in the tennis section. It’s hard to make out which of us actually created the record. The position of the statue is very cool and brings out that sense of action:) This one is Nadia Comaneci in the Sports Section of the museum. The All Star! Shrek is a very satisfyingly built statue cause you can give him a big hug! However, they didn’t have Donkey at the time but Ginger Bread Man didn’t disappoint. I really like how these two statues are placed cause you can get the whole punch of adrenaline in one shot. The Terminator and Armageddon all in one.

When I’d seen the movie for the first time at the age of six, it had scared me but now, E.T could come stay with me or I’d just go to the Moon with him. However, back then, anything to do with Harry Potter had a divine status and this statue was on the top of my list while visiting Madame Tussauds.Į.T!!!! It was one of my favourites at the museum. Something that hasn’t completely subsided four years later. Now when I visited London, I was at the very peak of my Harry Potter craze. I did get a brief glimpse of it though but I guess one has to be early in order to get this picture without photobombs.Įmma Watson.

Back when I went, there was a literal queue at this statue and even then, it was impossible to get a picture without someone else photobombing it. This is a picture I got off the net cause there is no way one can get a proper picture in the museum. Tom Cruise stands right in front of the Kim Kardashian statue posing for a selfie. That however would be a cool plot for Mission Impossible nine. Unlike its live counterpart, the sculpture didn’t exactly ride a bike through the museum or climb onto the roof to jump down and run across London. Tom Cruise was the first statue I came across in the museum. The museum’s on Baker Street so the detective and Kim Kardashian do share one thing in common The location of their statues in London. This is a statue of Sherlock Holmes outside Madame Tussauds. So, without further delay, let the world famous fun begin, minus any run ins with psychotic wax sculptors or guillotined spirits cause my mum didn’t let me visit the crime and gore section of the museum as she thought it would leave a ghastly impact. That is said to be one of the first statues at the museum.įast track a lifetime and today, Madame Tussauds is home to nearly every global icon, historical as well as of present times, including a toy-train ride and a 4-d show, not to forget about 21 branches worldwide. Marie Tussauds, made an eerie little vocation out of making heads and figures for the poor (or not) souls guillotined at the time of the French Revolution and back then, if someone had a statue of themselves in the wax museums, they’d probably lost their head earlier on(literally.)įun fact though Marie Tussauds made her own wax statue years before her demise. In the film ‘House of Wax’ (1953,2005) the wax museum is a literal death-trap(*spoiler alert probably*) and in the show ‘Penny Dreadful’, the Putney Family Wax Museum is shown to be a hotspot for grisly crimes such as the ‘Jack the Ripper’ murders among others.Ĭoming to real life, the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in London did not exactly house global stars at its origin. Wax museums, when shown in films, are portrayed as places showcasing events of gore and infamous crimes, often the epicentre for any form of horror or gothic activity.
