Why the hype about Madame Tussauds?
Madame Tussauds is a prestigious wax museum. Founded by a French wax sculptor Marie Tussaud, it hosts waxworks of famous stars, historic figures and iconic movie characters.
The first museum was built in London, but now there are many such museums in various parts of the world.
In India, we have two of them - one in New Delhi and the other in Kolkata.
