Madame Tussauds in Hong Kong: The world of human wax
During an era when communication was less through electronic media and most news
spread through word of mouth Madam Tussauds' displays gave audiences insight into events around the world and brought the public face to face with people who made headlines and front covers like it still does today. Originally from France, Madam Tussauds made a home in London where visitors had a chance to meet the biggest names of their time. Today this chain is rapidly spreading far and wide. This world renowned chain of museums of human wax celebrities was founded by Marie Tussaud of France. In Hong Kong this home to wax replicas of internationally known figures houses nearly one hundred wax statues, of which over one third are popular Asian figures. Even Bollywood has made its appearance with Amitabh Bachchan as the first Indian at the museum as a tribute to the film industry of India. The wax figures are set under themes of World Premiere, Champions, National and Historical Heroes, Hong Kong glamour and Music Icons. Thousands of people flock through the doors of this museum for many reasons including the one main reason: to see these amazing works of art for themselves. To get up close to a life size celebrity figure that almost feels like meeting them in person, to get a picture with the worlds most powerful and good looking, sought after and rich. Visitors are also able to relive the times that these celebrities were talked about and almost feel like they were a part of the glory days that lifted these personalities towards global recognition.
