wax museum in London, with branches in Amsterdam, Las Vegas, Copenhagen, New York, Hong Kong and Berlin. This museum was established by the sculptor Marie Tussauds over 150 years ago. Madame Tussauds was born in France in 1761. But in 1802 she moved to London. For a long time, Marie Tussaud traveled around England with a traveling exhibition of wax figures. And only in 1835, at the insistence of her sons, she opened a permanent exhibition of wax statues. The Cabinet of Horrors won particular fame, where, among other things, the death masks of the victims of the guillotine were presented. In the central museum of Madame Tussauds, which is located in London, to this day you can visit the very Cabinet of Horrors. In the halls of the museum, large screens are installed among the exposition, on which thematic films are shown. They help visitors learn more about different eras of London's history, from 1666, when the Great Fire broke out, to the 20th century. This museum is one of the most famous attractions in London, along with the Tower of London and the Globe Theatre.
