MADAM TUSSAUD MUSEUM
Madam Tussauds Exhibition was opened on its present site in 1884. Many of the original models made by Marie Tussaud of her great contemporaries, such as Voltaire, Benjamin Franklin, Sir Walter Scott are still preserved.
The exhibition consists of a series of halls. In the first hall is the famous "Sleeping Beauty" with a mechanism that simulates breathing.
The second hall is known as the Conservatory, where the visitors can view- size wax models of sport, film and TV personalities.
Next to "Super Stars" is the Grand Hall. This room is peopled by historical, political, military and royal figures from Henry VIII to prime ministers of Britain and from abroad, the Royal Family, and many others.
The next hall is the most famous of the wax rooms: the Chamber of Horrors. The visitors are quieter there than in other places. Its models are illustrating methods of execution. Both famous and infamous prisoners who were sentenced to life imprisonment are in cells. Maybe because of that very hall many find the museum gruesome and frightening.
Yet, despite the criticism, Madame Tussaud is one of the Londons top tourist attraction. Millions of tourists from overseas and from other parts of Britain would not consider their trip to London worthwhile without visiting the unusual waxwork exhibition.
