You can't keep up with the stars. To attend concerts by all your favorite idols, you need a lot of free time and money. Politicians do not tour at all; they have more important things to do! But thanks to the genius of Marie Tussaud, we can see what even gifted figures who have passed away looked like, people whose names have gone down in history forever.
Did you know, for example, that American President Barack Obama is 187 centimeters tall? And can you imagine what the sculptor Madame Tussaud herself looked like? By the way, the famous German made her own wax figure 8 years before her death, at the age of 80. And the first person Tussaud cast in wax was the French writer and thinker Francois-Marie Arouet de Voltaire.
The exhibition founded by this modest-looking woman has branches all over the world, including in Shanghai. This unique museum will be of interest to absolutely everyone, because it features not only performers, but also athletes, scientists, cosmonauts - in other words, representatives of completely different fields.
The number of museums where world celebrities are "locked up" is steadily approaching 20. In 2006, the "wax stars" also appeared in Shanghai. You have to admit, it would be unfair if the cultural and economic center of China did not have such an important attraction.
The museum is located in the very center of the city, on People's Square, on the 10th floor of a huge complex from which you can also admire the beauty of the city from a bird's-eye view. The uniqueness of the Shanghai branch lies in the fact that Chinese stars are represented here. There are especially many athletes among them, depicted "in context": with balls, gymnastic rings, or golf clubs.
