Our Museum Expert Says:

Come face to face with your favorite celebrities! Stroll through the museum and keep your eyes peeled—you never know who you'll bump into at this top New York attraction! .

Madame Tussaud learned her skills from her mother's employer Philippe Curtius, a doctor with a talent for wax modeling. Not long after, the first Madame Tussaud's was opened in London in 1835. Upon entering the New York museum, visitors emerge from the elevator and come out into a fabulous party room, where it's often difficult to tell whether the guests are "real" or wax. As you wander the museum, you'll come face to face with new and old political, historical, and celebrity figures. Not only will visitors meet the wax versions of pop stars like Britney Spears, but exhibits like the VIP room allow visitors to actually be a part of the hottest club scene in New York. The museum is also great for kids who are sure to see many personalities here that they know.

To get here by Subway, Take the A, C, E or S train to Port Authority, or the 1, 2, 3, N, R, B, D, F, or Q lines to the 42nd Street/Times Square stop. By Bus, the M57, M16, M11, M27, M42 and M104 all stop within a few blocks of Madame Tussauds New York.
