  Madam Tussauds
  The museum opened its doors over 200 years ago.
  It is filled with 14 exciting, interactive zones and the amazing Marvel Super Heroes 4D movie experience and combines glamour with incredible history.
  How did it all start? With this tiny woman on the left.
   Madame Tussauds learnt to model wax likenesses when she was 17 in France. She came to Britain in the early 19th century with an exhibition of her works. In 1835, Madame Tussauds’ exhibition established a permanent base in London as the Baker Street Bazaar - visitors paid ‘sixpence’ for the chance to meet the famous people of the day. The attraction moved to its present place in Marylebone Road in 1884.
