Madame Tussauds is a wax museum in London with branches in a number of major cities.
It was founded by wax sculptor Marie Tussaud and was formerly known as "Madame Tussaud's".
Madame Tussauds is a major tourist attraction in London, displaying waxworks of historical and royal figures, film stars, sports stars and infamous murderers.
Marie Tussaud, was born as Anna Maria Grosholtz in 1761 in Strasbourg, France.
One of the main attractions of her museum was the Chamber of Horrors.
Her first solo exhibit appeared on Baker Street in 1835 followed by her famous Chamber of Horrors collection in 1845, where Madame Tussaud displayed a collection of death masks that she had made of the victims of the guillotine during the French Revolution in Paris. In the meantime, she added many likenesses to her collection.
