Have you ever wanted to get up close and personal with some of Hollywood's biggest stars? Normally, throwing yourself at Johnny Depp or taking twenty photos of yourself and J.Lo would get you thrown in jail for harassment, but at Madame Tussauds this is not only tolerated, it's encouraged.

Madame Tussauds is a famous wax figurine museum, which originated in London. Marie Tussaud (1761-1850), a French born woman who learned the art of wax modeling from her mother's employer, honed her craft over many years and far surpassed her teacher in skill and expertise. By far her most gruesome endeavor was the time she spent molding the heads of some of the guillotine's victims during the French Revolution.

Moving from France to England, in 1834 Marie Tussaud transformed a study in her London home into what was later dubbed the "chamber of horrors", where she showedcased full-sized wax models replicating the carnage of the French Revolution. After her death, Tussaud's Grandson moved the collection to Marylebone Road, London where Madame Tussauds remains to this present day.

The immense popularity of Madame Tussauds has seen it grow from its London locality to a worldwide phenomenon. Today, Madame Tussauds is open in six locations across the globe including three here in America – it's a must see tourist attraction.
