Millions and millions of people have flocked through the doors of Madame Tussauds since they first opened over 250 years ago and it remains just as popular as it ever was. There are many reasons for this enduring success, but at the heart of it all is good, old-fashioned curiosity. Today's visitors are sent on a unique, emotionally-charged journey through the realms of the powerful and famous.

However, apart from this major issue, wax museums provide an opportunity to see one of your favourite writers, musicians, etc. in somewhat different way than a photo.
I've been in Madame Tussaud's few years ago in London and honestly, it didn't get my attention as it is said it should. It is some kind of fun to see famous actors, politicians or athletes, but after a while it turns out pretty boring. Nevertheless, I like when real people stand and pretend to be themselves as a wax figure, so they can surprise tourists.
Do not you think that they look creepy? Would you like to have your wax figure in a museum?
Yes, I find it a little creepy. The more real a wax figure looks, the more creepy it is to see a person, but.. dead? I feel the same way with animals filled up after death. Although I don't get any goosebumps or anything whatsoever, it is weird after a while to move around fake people, like big dolls but more human.
I have been in Madame Tussaud's musem in London and it was fun to be able to see some of the most famous actors, signers and personalities. After a while it became a little bit boring but in overall i enjoyed the visit in musem.

Some of them actually looks weird but usually those wax figures are made with huge precision and focus into details. I don't find them creepy but I wouldn't like to have my own figure in such museum.
Yes, I was in wax museum two times. First time when I was I child and then I don’t really like it because I was not really into art and static figures was boring. Second time I was in wax museum last summer and I was really impressed that somebody can make wax figure looks like real person. I don’t think that it’s look creepy, it’s a possibility to see famous person at close range. No, I wouldn’t want my own wax figure, I think that it's creepy.
Hmmm, I would like to see some of my idols in this museum. After all, it is likely that there are figures that can be almost 200 years old, and this is a great opportunity to see what a person was like.
I had the opportunity to go to a museum in Berlin. But seeing this giant line, I abruptly changed my mind to go there. Although before that I had already checked in Google a list of figures that are in the museum and I think that in Berlin the most boring exposition of all Madame Tussauds museums.
I am just in awe of the skill of the people who create these figures. Physical similarity alone is not enough to convey the image of a person. It is necessary to catch and understand the peculiarity of each and have the talent to display it in sculpture.
Unfortunately, I have never been to such a museum, although I would gladly choose it, I heard about the fantastic wax museum in London, where all the amazingly done stars are.
I think it's an art and it's not frightening, but images could scare us, but it's not.
In the museum, yes, at home no.
Wife would not withstand two of us: D
I remember visiting a wax museum in Świnoujście during a school trip. It was very unique and somewhat traumatizing experience since the exhibition mainly contained the wax figures of people that would be considered by some as "freaks".
I would love to see my wax figure in the museum since I am curious how do I actually look from the third persons perspective. I guess the experience would be quite similar to hearing your own voice from the recording.
I can also understand why some people find them creepy. Personally, I don’t but during my visit, I’ve seen people, especially young children who were very uncomfortable.
If I ever become so famous that Madame Tussauds would decide to make a wax figure of me in a museum, I wouldn’t care, to be honest. I interpret wax figures as art and for me, they’re no different from paintings.
They are some kind of statues. Art. I don't like them personal because there is nothing interesting about them. Just a 1 to 1 model of some random person that I probably don't care about.
Have you ever been to wax museums?
Nope.
Do not you think that they look creepy?
Depends on how well made. And if it is a figure of Ozzy Osborn then yes. It looks creepy ;)
Would you like to have your wax figure in a museum?
Probably not. Why would I? I am not famous or anything. Not yet at least ;)
It turns out quite boring.
Have you ever been to wax museums? Do not you think that they look creepy?
You'd have to be a self loathing masochistic psychopath to go there
Would you like to have your wax figure in a museum?
And what visitors are going to say? I saw one unknown guy? The purpose of this museum is to allow
people commune with celebrities (filling their conceit)
I never knew Madame Tussaud was creating her wax figures so long ago. This is a very interesting story and I admire her entrepreneurial spirit and her bravery to travel around the world to show her creations to so many people.
1. What do you think of Madame Tussaud's wax figures?
a. If you like to stare at other people I think that you will love this place in otherwise you will be bored.
2. Have you ever been to wax museums?
a. No, because it is not my cup of tea, I would prefer to visit other museum or go to the restaurant.
3. Do not you think that they look creepy?
a. Yes, a bit.
4. Would you like to have your wax figure in a museum?
a. No, I do now want to have my own wax figure in a museum, I think that exhibition called “Typical IT guy in his natural environment” would not be very popular.
Yes, I have been in Madame Tussauds museum in London, in general, I liked it there, but I don’t see any reason to return there again.
I don't think that they look creepy, but realness level of wax figures is astonishing.
I don't mind having own wax figure, it sounds crazy but why not.
I've been once in a wax museum and it was interesting- I've learned about some famous people but... Well, wax figures are creepy- they are like... corpses? Someone in comments says it already.
And about having my own wax figure- nooo. It would be strange and... uncomfortable for me (if I would live)
I have never been to a wax museum.
It depends. I once watched the horror of a house of wax figures, I think so. And there they didn't look as scary as it may seem. I think it is a pleasant view
I wouldn't like to have my wax figure in the museum
I personally find them a little creepy especially if they are very realistic. Just imagine looking it in the eyes, they seem real and even alive but you know that they are just very accurate artificial statues of people. I think that some people would agree that working as a night security guard in that museum would be a quite creepy experience.
No, I wouldn't like to have my wax figure in the museum as it would be to creepy and strange for me.
2. I have never been to wax museum before. I had a chance when I was in London last summer but i I didn’t go. Next time I will definitely go!
3. I don’t think they look creepy although I have never seen them live. But In my opinion they are really cool. In the future I would like to go to Madame Tussaud’s museum at the nearest opportunity.
4. No I wouldn't :D
I think it's nice, you can spend some time there and you can't call it "wasted time", since this kind of wax museum is very unique. I didn't heard about any others, so I assume that Madame Tussaud's the biggest one.
Have you ever been to wax museums?
No, but I want to visit one some day.
Do not you think that they look creepy?
No, I think they're fine. Why it has to be creepy? They look like a real people, are normal people creepy? :D
Would you like to have your wax figure in a museum?
I'm not an well-known man, or I didn't achieve anything special for a community, so why should I have? I think it's fine for me to not have any wax figures
