About Madame Tussauds
Madame Tussauds is the
ultimate celebrity experience and the world’s best known and most popular wax
attraction. There are currently 23 Madame Tussauds attractions around the
world. Each of the attractions is unique
and tailored to the host city and visitor demographic to feature both local as
well as international figures. These attractions are continually endorsed by
celebrities, sports stars, royalty and global politicians.
Founded in London in 1835,
Madame Tussauds’ amazing wax figures are so high quality and so lifelike that
even the celebrities themselves do a double take when they see them — and all
in stunning interactive themed sets designed to excite, amaze, and surprise,
including some with unique animated features! And, with no bars, ropes or
barriers around the figures, visitors will have no problem believing that they
really are standing beside their heroes and the photographs taken with
favourite stars will be a special memory for ever.
The result of 200 years of
expertise and painstaking research every figure takes Madame Tussauds’ gifted
sculptors a minimum of three months to make, and costs more than $300K
(Singapore dollars). Most contemporary figures are also produced following
sittings with the celebrities themselves and are the result of hundreds of
separate measurements, hours matching skin tone, eye and hair colour — with
every individual hair inserted separately. Celebrities and film studio wardrobe
departments often supply clothing for their figures, or designers will
reproduce significant or iconic outfits as exact replicas, only for Madame
Tussauds. Inclusion in one of Madame Tussauds attractions around the world is
seen as a huge honour and recognition of an individual’s contribution, status
and achievement.
