Madame Tussauds is a famous wax museum in London with branches in a number of major cities. It was set up by wax sculptor Marie Tussaud.
Touted as “London’s favorite tourist attraction”, the statues at Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum have been thrilling visitors since Tussaud opened her first permanent exhibit in 1835.

History


By 1835 Marie had settled down in Baker Street, London, and opened a museum. One of the main attractions of her museum was the Chamber of Horrors. This part of the exhibition included victims of the French Revolution and newly created figures of murderers and other criminals. The name is often credited to a contributor to Punch in 1845, but Marie appears to have originated it herself, using it in advertising as early as 1843.Other famous people were added to the exhibition, including Horatio Nelson, and Sir Walter Scott. Some of the sculptures done by Marie Tussaud herself still exist. The gallery originally contained some 400 different figures, but fire damage in 1925, coupled with German bombs in 1941, has rendered most of these older models defunct. The casts themselves have survived (allowing the historical waxworks to be remade) – and these can be seen in the museum’s history exhibit. The oldest figure on display is that of Madame du Barry. Other ancient faces from the time of Tussaud include Robespierre, George III and Benjamin Franklin.In 1842, she made a self portrait which is now on display at the entrance of her museum. She died in her sleep on 15 April 1850.
By 1883 the restricted space and rising cost of the Baker Street site prompted her grandson (Joseph Randall) to commission the building at its current location on Marylebone Road. The new exhibition galleries were opened on 14 July 1884 and were a great success. However, the building costs, falling so soon after buying out his cousin Louisa's half share in the business in 1881, meant the business was under-funded. A limited company was formed in 1888 to attract fresh capital but had to be dissolved after disagreements between the family shareholders, and in February 1889 Tussaud's was sold to a group of businessmen lead by Edwin Josiah Poyser. Edward White, an artist dismissed by the new owners to save money, allegedly sent a parcel bomb to John Theodore Tussaud in June 1889 in revenge.
Madame Tussaud's wax museum has now grown to become a major tourist attraction in London, incorporating (until recently) the London Planetarium in its west wing. It has expanded with branches in Amsterdam, Berlin, Las Vegas, New York City, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Washington, D.C., with an additional location scheduled to open in Hollywood in 2009. Today's wax figures at Tussauds include historical and royal figures, film stars, sports stars and famous murderers. Known as "Madame Tussauds" museums (no apostrophe), they are owned by a leisure company called Merlin Entertainments, following the acquisition of The Tussauds Group in May 2007.

In July 2008, Madame Tussauds' Berlin branch became embroiled in controversy when a 41 year old German man brushed past two guards and decapitated a wax figure depicting Adolf Hitler. This was believed to be an act of protest against showing the ruthless dictator alongside sports heroes, movie stars, and other historical figures. However, the statue has since been repaired and the perpetrator has admitted he attacked the statue to win a bet. The original model of Hitler, unveiled in Madame Tussauds London in April 1933 was frequently vandalised and a replacement in 1936 had to be carefully guarded.

A couple of words about Marie Tussaud herself...


Madame Tussaud and Her Wax Museum



Marie Tussaud (1761-1850), a native of Strasbourg, France, learned the fine art of sculpting from her mother’s employer, a physician skilled in the art of wax modeling. The doctor, Philippe Curtius, was one of the first to display such works of art, opening an exhibition in 1776. Young Marie made her first sculpture at the tender age of 16, fashioning a likeness of French enlightenment writer, Francois Voltaire.

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. In 1884, several decades after her death, Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum moved to its current location on London’s Marylebone Road, where millions have stood on queue for hours to get a glimpse at her work and that of her successors.

The current museum suffered a fire in 1925 and many statues were lost. However, the molds remained intact and several of the pieces were recreated. It is now one of London’s busiest attractions and during peak tourist season, it is common to encounter long lines that stretch for blocks. The museum started an overseas expansion in 1970, when it opened a branch location in Amsterdam. Today it has expanded to many more cities including Las Vegas, New York City, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, with a Washington DC location opening in fall 2007 and another scheduled for Hollywood.

What You’ll See
Tussaud and her successors have fashioned literally thousands of replicas of famous people. Visitors can view world leaders, actors/actresses, sports legends, famous writers and artists, religious figures, musicians, and a host of other characters. Besides those displays there's also several themed sections in the museum including the Chamber of Horrors and an taxi ride for a journey through history.While the London museum has a decidedly British slant,

Marylin Monroevisitors from all over the world will recognize a majority of the characters.
Until recently, Madame Tussaud's was home to the London Planetarium as well. However, that has closed and been replaced by a show known as The Wonderful World of Stars, a 360-degree extravaganza produced by Aardman, the makers of Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run. The visual effects are fascinating!

Tinker Bell


Though Tinker Bell might have played second fiddle to Peter Pan and Captain Hook in Disney's 1953 classic the beloved fairy gets top billing--and a speaking role--with this animated adventure. In TINKER BELL young audiences can journey to Pixie Hollow the home of the fairies in Never Land. The most famous tiny Fairy has been preserved at Madame Tussauds wax museum in London.
Tinker Bell was unveiled at Madame Tussauds on November 10, 2008 in London, England. The figure is the smallest ever created at the attraction, measuring only five and a half inches.


Tinker Bell was pretty at just five and a half inches tall, this little pixie with the big personality was crafted with love, artistry and attention to detail as Madame Tussauds’ other remarkably life-like human figures – but at the pixie-scale size.
“Undoubtedly, some of our celebrities are smaller than others but Tinker Bell is tiny on a scale we’ve never handled before; for context the average figure is somewhere between five and six foot tall – Tinker Bell is just five and a half inches!” says Liz Edwards, PR Manager of Madame Tussauds.
“Our studios team is essentially employing all of the usual techniques and tools, although many have had to be sized down, and the sculptors have had to apply an even steadier and precise hand to the job.”
Studying hundreds of drawings, 3D photos and footage from the tiny superstar’s first feature length movie Madame Tussauds artists feel they’ve captured the perfect form of Miss Bell.


According to Tussauds, crafting a perfect clay sculpture of Tink set the process in motion. The sculpture is then used to make wax molds for the final figure. Once molded, hair and color artists continue the process taking another four to six weeks to finish.
Ten layers of oil paints are used to build up her color and give a translucency to the skin tones and to achieve a realistic texture.
Tinker Bell will be featured in her leafy-green fairy dress complete with delicate wings, made especially for her. Crafted from the lightest materials possible, it was well over a four week process to achieve the right, truly ethereal pixie look.
TINY TINKER BELL WAXWORKS FACTS
Height : 5.5 inchesWidth of eyes : 2mm Length of eyelashes : 1mm Length of fingers : 4mmSize of fingernails : 1/2mm Waist size : 1.5cm
Walt Disney Pictures and John Lasseter, Chief Creative Officer of Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios, and the storytellers at Walt Disney Pictures, bring the full-length CG animated movie filled with magic and adventure.
Introducing extraordinary new characters, Tinker Bell features an impressive voice cast widely acclaimed for performances on stage and screen. Mae Whitman gives Tinker Bell her first true voice, and Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner America Ferrera provides the voice of the mischievous Fawn, an animal fairy. Raven-Symoné fills the illuminating role of Iridessa, a light fairy; Tony Award winner Kristin Chenoweth offers the elegant tones of Rosetta, a garden fairy; and Lucy Liu plays Silvermist, an endearing water fairy.
In addition, singer-songwriter Jesse McCartney lends his voice to Terence, keeper of the pixie dust, and Academy Award winning actress Anjelica Huston reigns over Pixie Hollow as the voice of Queen Clarion.
