madame tussauds museum:

madame tussauds museum has acquired a place of landmark in london. having lost her parents, she joined as an assistant to a wax artist in france. after a long association of over twenty years, she happened to be bequeathed with the creations of her master as a gift. the circumstances made her to travel to the britain. she took her exhibition from place to place to earn her livelihood as well as create new wax figures. lastly she put all her creations in a house at baker street, londonl, where she herself charged one shilling from each of the visitors. before her death she created her own wax statue. the art was further promoted and the museum carried on by her children. now the museum is professionally run as a business enterprise while promoting the art of wax statue making. while madame tussauds worked on the basis of the photographs/drawings of a person, the modern tools include taking more than two hundred measurements, matching the original skin and hair colours, using natural hair in the statue, etc. it is truely said that a person is not famous (whether for right or wrong reasons) till he gets a place in the madame tussaus museum. for photographs, please visit http://picasaweb.google.com/mlkesarwani/MadameTussaudsMuseum
