Madame Tussauds built by Anna Marie Grosholtz later better known as Madame Tussaud because married Francois Tussaud. Madame Tussauds learnt to make wax statue since her childhood from his father, Dr. Philippe Curtis. Madame Tussaud’s work was controversial when he made a wax head of Louis Auguste and his wife, Marie Antoinette is beheaded in the event of the French Revolution. Those scary statues were exhibited in a private room called the Chamber of Horrors, which is in Madame Tussauds London.

Marie inaugurated its first wax museum in London by the name of Madame Tussaud’s in 1835. Later, the name was changed slightly, to Madame Tussauds. Unfortunately, its lineup 400s were now much reduced because of fires that occurred at the museum in 1925. Lucky Marie could make a statue of her self eight years before he died in 1850.

They work closely, all made as close as possible to the original. It is starting from the body proportions, shape teeth, nails, eyes, skin color, to hair color. Even for the manufacture of hair, they do it piece by piece. No wonder one sculpture took three weeks for the hair affair only. Jeni Fairey, the sculptor, said that it takes extraordinary patience, especially when making a mold which is measured directly from a celebrity. “Some celebrities really understand and easy to cooperate, but there are also celebrities who lack patience, hard to happen,” he said.
