worked as an assistant to Doctor Philippe Curtius, who was a wax
modeller. Her first wax figure was Jean-Jacques Rosseau, a famous
philosopher, in 1778. The museum Madame Tussaud is one of the
greatest attractions of London. It was founded one hundred and
seventy seven years ago, in 1835. This is not a typical museum. It
is a museum where you can see many wax figures from the past and
famous people of today. Marie Tussaud was the founder of this
special museum. When she was young, Marie Tussaud learned how to
make figures from wax and soon she was famous because of that. Her
first museum was on Baker Street, in London. Her first figures were
figures representing the victims of the French revolution. You can
see these figures in the Chamber of Horrors. The museum is open
every day, from 9:00 to 5:30.Today's wax figures at Tussaud include
historical and royal figures, film stars, sports stars and famous
murderers. There are wax figures of the Royal Family, Marilyn
Monroe, the Beatles, Justin Timberlake, Amy Winehouse, Britney
Spears, Albert Einstein, Barack Obama and many more!
