Study Madame Tussaud and its incredible museum
On December 1, 1761, Marie Grosholtz, later known as Marie Tussaud, was born in France. She spent the majority of her early years in Bern before moving to Paris and studying wax modeling with Philippe Curtius, who taught her this subtle yet fascinating craft.
In 1795, she married the engineer François Tussaud. Although they had two boys together, their marriage was short-lived. Later, in 1802, she traveled to England with her boys and her wax statue models to exhibit her collection of portraits.
Marie Tussaud spent 33 years touring Britain before opening her first permanent exhibition on Baker Street, on the top floor of the “Baker Street Bazaar,” in 1835, according to Britannica. But in 1884, several years after Marie Tussaud’s disappearance, the wax museum moved to Marylebone Road in London.
Madame Tussauds Museum Information
The incredible wax museum features wax sculptures of well-known and infamous celebrities and public leaders. Additionally, it contains artifacts of infamous murders which are split in the Chamber of Horrors. But in 2016, this section of the wax museum was permanently closed.
Waxwork figures of everyone can be seen at Madame Tussaud’s, from Adele to Abraham Lincoln! There are successfully more than 190 realistic statues there.
Madame Tussauds features wax figures of many famous people, including Alfred Hitchcock, Queen Elizabeth II, Bob Dylan, Princess Diana, David Beckham, Dwayne Johnson, Elvis Presley, Ed Sheeran and countless others.
Statues of Benjamin Franklin, Horatio Nelson, Voltaire and Sir Walter Scott, among the oldest, have all been preserved.
What do we know about the imminent production of Marie Tussaud with Andy Serkis
In a statement, Andy Serkis reportedly said the drama they produced would be “hilarious and ridiculous,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. He went on to say:
This is not a traditional period piece; rather, it’s a wonderfully extravagant, unrestrained, anarchic punk escapade created by the daughter of a fabulously post-truth executioner.
A release date for the series has yet to be determined, but Jonathan Cavendish and Marie Guillaumond will produce it.
