Marie Tussaud era una donna di origini alsaziane. Aveva imparato l'arte di modellare la cera fin da piccola, creando i primi capolavori. Nel 1802 lascia Parigi per l'Inghilterra, portando con sé le sue opere, e da questa collezione nasce l'attuale museo delle cere di Londra.

All'interno del museo inglese, il più celebre, si possono ammirare le statue dei personaggi che hanno scritto la storia, dal re Enrico VIII a George W. Bush, passando per Hitler e la regina Elisabetta II, accanto ai quali si trovano statue di divi dello spettacolo di ieri e di oggi, sportivi ed altri ancora.

Inoltre ci sono altre attrazioni spettacolari, come il planetarium, nel quale si può simulare un viaggio nello spazio, e la camera degli orrori interpretata da veri attori.
