That wonderful Saturday

On Saturday, me with my schoolmate from South Korea decided to go to the Baker street and visit the Sherlock Holmes Museum and Madame Tussaud's Museum.
To be honest, I found this museum quite boring and it was nothing interesting to photo.
Hope that Madam Tussaud will be impressive.

Madame Tussaud, was born in Strasbourg, France. Her mother worked as a housekeeper for Dr. Philippe Curtius in Bern, Switzerland, who was a physician skilled in wax modelling. Tussaud created her first wax figure, of Voltaire, in 1777[5] Other famous people she modelled at that time include Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Benjamin Franklin. During the French Revolution she modelled many prominent victims. In her memoirs she claims that she would search through corpses to find the decapitated heads of executed citizens, from which she would make death masks. It is not secret, that she made wax models from dead people. A lot of pictures in the entrance are related to this fact.

Nowadays, Madame Tussaud's wax museum is the world's famous and you will need to spend near 30 minutes in the queue to get in.
Luckily, there are much things to see while standing in the queue.




After half an hour I can buy the ticket and enter the museum.
Madame Tussaud's Museum is divided into several section which contains wax models of movie starts, musicians, sport starts etc.
First is the section where you can find movie starts.









This section contains wax models of sportsmen.




There were more then 3 more thematic zones, dungeon house, marvel's heroes wax models etc.
I was under the huge impression after.
If you are the first time in London, you should visit this awesome place. Maybe, I will visit it even the second time in the future.
