Madame Tussaud's - WikiVisually FEATURED ARTICLES · CHANGE LANGUAGE · hover over links in text for more info click links in text for more info Madame Tussauds Madame Tussauds and the London Planetarium Madame Tussauds ( US /tuːˈsoʊz/ ; the family themselves pronounce it /ˈtuːsoʊ/ [1] ) is a wax museum in London with branches in a number of major cities. It was founded by wax sculptor Marie Tussaud . It used to be known as "Madame Tussaud's"; the apostrophe is no longer used. [2] [3] Madame Tussauds is a major tourist attraction in London , displaying waxworks of famous people. Contents Background[ edit ] Marie Tussaud was born as Marie Grosholtz in 1761 in Strasbourg , France . Her mother worked as a housekeeper for Dr. Philippe Curtius in Bern , Switzerland, who was a physician skilled in wax modelling. Curtius taught Tussaud the art of wax modelling. Tussaud created her first wax sculpture in 1777 of Voltaire .

[4] Other famous people whom she modelled at that time include Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Benjamin Franklin . During the French Revolution , she modelled many prominent victims. She claims that she would search through corpses to find the severed heads of executed citizens, from which she would make death masks . Her death masks were held up as revolutionary flags and paraded through the streets of Paris. She inherited the doctor's vast collection of wax models following his death in 1794, and spent the next 33 years travelling around Europe . She married Francois Tussaud in 1795, and the show acquired a new name: Madame Tussaud's. In 1802, she accepted an invitation from Paul Philidor , a magic lantern and phantasmagoria pioneer, to exhibit her work alongside his show at the Lyceum Theatre, London . She did not fare particularly well financially, with Philidor taking half of her profits. She was unable to return to France because of the Napoleonic Wars , so she traveled throughout Great Britain and Ireland exhibiting her collection.

From 1831, she took a series of short leases on the upper floor of "Baker Street Bazaar" (on the west side of Baker Street, Dorset Street, and King Street), [5] which later featured in the Druce-Portland case sequence of trials of 1898–1907. This became Tussaud's first permanent home in 1836. [6] Origins[ edit ] Poster for the Tussaud wax figure's exhibition, Baker Street , London 1835. By 1835, Marie had settled down in Baker Street , London and opened a museum. [7] One of the main attractions of her museum was the Chamber of Horrors . 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. [8] This part of the exhibition included victims of the French Revolution and newly created figures of murderers and other criminals. Other famous people were added, including Lord Nelson and Sir Walter Scott . Some sculptures still exist that were done by Marie Tussaud herself.

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 , the work of Curtius from 1765 and part of the waxworks left to Tussaud at his death. Other faces from the time of Tussaud include Robespierre and George III . 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. Bernard Tussaud finishes the wax figure of Lady Alice Scott and the Duke of Gloucester - 1935.10.16 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.

[9] However, Randall had bought out his cousin Louisa's half share in the business in 1881, and that plus the building costs meant that 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 Tussaud's was sold to a group of businessmen in February 1889 led by Edwin Josiah Poyser. [10] Edward White was an artist who was dismissed by the new owners to save money; he allegedly sent a parcel bomb to John Theodore Tussaud in June 1889 in revenge. [11] The first sculpture of a young Winston Churchill was made in 1908, with a total of ten made since. [12] The first overseas branch of Madame Tussauds was opened in Amsterdam in 1970. [13] Wax Hitler will return to museum after three years of repairs Madame Tussaud's wax museum has now become a major tourist attraction in London, incorporating (until 2010) the London Planetarium in its west wing.

Today's wax figures at Tussauds include historical and royal figures, film stars, sports stars, and famous murderers. It is known as "Madame Tussauds" museums (no apostrophe) and is 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 that he attacked the statue to win a bet. [14] The original model of Hitler was unveiled in Madame Tussauds London in April 1933; it was frequently vandalised and a 1936 replacement had to be carefully guarded. [15] [16] [17] In November 2015, Madame Tussauds announced that it would open a museum in New Delhi in 2017.

[13] Trinidadian-American recording artist Nicki Minaj 's statue at the Las Vegas museum was provided extra security following an act of vandalism by one of her fans who took some "inappropriate" photos in June 2015.[ citation needed ] In January 2016, the statue of Adolf Hitler was removed from the London museum in response to an open letter sent by a staff writer of The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles , followed by significant support for its removal from social media. [18] Celebrity poses with their wax figures[ edit ] Many times celebrities pose like their wax figures as pranks and publicity stunts . On 3 November 2009, the museum's New York City branch was featured in a segment on NBC 's The Today Show in which weatherman Al Roker posed in place of his lifelike wax figure for two hours and startled unsuspecting visitors, who were at first led to believe they were viewing Roker's wax counterpart. [20] In 2010, Ozzy Osbourne did similarly in New York to promote his Scream (2010) album.

[21] In 2012, One Direction posed as their statues in the London museum, as a prank for the TV series Surprise Surprise . [22] National Basketball Association players Carmelo Anthony and Jeremy Lin pranked fans during the unveiling of their statues at the New York and San Francisco museums, respectively. [23] [24] In 2015, Arnold Schwarzenegger posed as the Terminator statue in the Hollywood museum, to promote a charity event. [25] Films[ edit ] In Alfred Hitchcock 's The 39 Steps , Mr. Hannay tells Pamela that his uncle is featured in Madame Tussaud's murderer section and that one day she will be able to take her grandchildren to Madame Tussaud's to see him. Parts of the film Fan (2016) were shot at Madame Tussauds, making it the first Indian film to be shot there. Madame Tussauds features in the film Shanghai Knights (2003). Games[ edit ] Madame Tussauds is featured in an Assassin's Creed Unity side mission, where the player is tasked with retrieving the severed heads of which Madame Tussauds was commissioned to make replicas.

Literature[ edit ] There is a brief reference to Madame Tussaud's work in the Sherlock Holmes story "The Mazarin Stone." In Elizabeth Bowen 's novel The Death of the Heart (1938), Portia and Eddie have tea at Madame Tussaud's and Portia is disappointed that the waitresses are real and not made of wax. Music[ edit ] In Gilbert and Sullivan 's song "My Object All Sublime", from The Mikado (1885), the title character sings of punishments fitting the crime, including: The amateur tenor, whose vocal villainies All desire to shirk, Madame Tussauds, London Madame Tussauds Touted as "London's favorite tourist attraction", the statues at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum have been thrilling visitors since Tussaud opened her first permanent exhibit in 1835. Madame Tussaud Madame Tussauds The Beatles Marie Tussaud (1761-1850) was born in Strasbourg, France, under the name of Marie Grosholtz.

After her father's death in 1761 she moved with her mother to Paris , where she 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 wax models, opening an exhibition in 1776 called 'The Cavern of the Great Thieves'. Young Marie made her first sculpture at the tender age of sixteen, fashioning a likeness of French enlightenment writer, François Voltaire. Word of her talent spread and reached the royal family, who hired Marie as an art tutor. Her relation with the royal family caused her to be thrown in jail when the monarchy was toppled during the French Revolution. To show her allegiance to the new regime, she was forced to search for severed heads in the piles of dead bodies so she could make death masks of those executed by the guillotine. The Wax Museum Hitler Marylin Monroe In 1795 Marie married François Tussaud, but she left him in 1802 so she could tour around Britain with her collection of death masks. The gruesome roadshow included the death masks of the French king Louis XVI and his wife Marie-Antoinette.

Tussaud's collection affirmed the disdain of the British audience for France's bloodthirsty revolutionaries and was a big hit. Marie Tussaud never returned to France. In 1835, after more than thirty years touring the country, she created a permanent exhibit on Baker Street. There was a surcharge for the famous Chamber of Horrors, a separate chamber with the most horrifying displays of criminals and victims of the French Revolution. In the meantime, Marie Tussaud 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 in 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. Unfortunately hundreds of molds were destroyed during the Blitz at the start of the Second World War. Ironically one of the surviving masks is that of Hitler, which was created in 1933.

Today the wax museum is 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 , Washington DC and Hollywood. What You'll See King Henry VIII 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 are 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, visitors from all over the world will recognize a majority of the characters.

Lack of light and flash disrupted white balance. ( sorry about that). Madame Tussauds is a major tourist attraction in London, displaying waxworks of historical and royal figures, film stars, sports stars, musicians, Fashion celebrities, Politicians and famous people. Madame Tussauds is a wax museum in London with branches in a number of major cities. It was founded by wax sculptor Marie Tussaud (Anna Maria Grosholtz (1761--1850) French). Dr. Philippe Curtius in Bern, Switzerland, who was a physician skilled in wax modelling taught Tussaud the art of wax modelling. Following the doctor's death in 1794, she inherited his vast collection of wax models and spent the next 33 years travelling around Europe. Her marriage to François Tussaud in 1795 lent a new name to the show: Madame Tussaud's. In 1802, she went to London having accepted an invitation from Paul Philidor, a magic lantern and phantasmagoria pioneer, to exhibit her work alongside his show at the Lyceum Theatre, London.

As a result of the Franco-British war, she was unable to return to France, so she travelled throughout Great Britain and Ireland exhibiting her collection. From 1831 she took a series of short leases on the upper floor of "Baker Street Bazaar" (on the west side of Baker Street between Dorset Street and King Street). This became Tussaud's first permanent home in 1836. By 1835 Marie had settled down in Baker Street, London, and opened a museum. 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. 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 led by Edwin Josiah Poyser. Thus over two centuries the attraction took vast changes in forms, art, location and ownerships. All rights reserved.
