Martin - Madame Tussauds Sydney

You
see, I went to one of Sydney's latest and most fascinating attractions, Madame Tussauds wax figure museum. Here you can get up close and
personal with many famous and some infamous people from the past and present depicted in wax! The wax figures are so lifelike and their resemblance with the real person is uncanny. There are many historical and
political identities as well as sports
heroes and heroines. In addition there are a lot of celebrities from TV,
movies and music. At times it even felt a little eerie walking around the museum as one might even
expect the figures to speak or move.

A feature of the museum is being able to see
behind the scenes and discover how the
wax figures are made, right down to how hairs are put into the head! I recommend
a visit to Madame Tussauds if you are going to Sydney as it also features a lot
of famous Australian characters who you may or may not know of. Naturally you
won't be able to get any autographs at
Madame Tussauds but you will be able to take a lot of photos!
