The exhibits were very realistic. We particularly liked "Otto" because he was depicted in his typical pose. The idea for a photo with "Helmut Schmitt" was particularly good. The space for the exhibits is very small overall, so the rating is good.

Nice, small museum but with not so many figures. A little expensive for these few figures.

Find yourself in an immersive experience of the world of wax. Know more about the process of wax figure making and even learn how to do it from professionals! Find yourself amidst various life-like figurines of celebrities. Click amazing pictures with your favourite celebrities and superstars. The figures have been created after closely studying the subjects and hence look almost life-like. If only our favourite superstars and celebrities were this accessible!!

Get mesmerised as you witness these figurines which each took almost two years to make. That's right! Each figurine took almost two years and more than €40,000 to complete.

Witness wax models of the giant woman Mariedl with a height of 2.27 meters, a man with 3 eyes and other extraordinary people. Complete your experience by visiting the scary corner and the medical-anatomical cabinet.
