Madame Tussauds Orlando

To help in the French Revolution, she would sculpt masks of executed citizens to fire up the rebels. The Madame Tussauds brand has its roots back in London, where the family opened up its first wax exhibit in 1835. Since then, the museum has branched out into many different countries around the world, locations such as Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Las Vegas, New York and now right here in Orlando. The museum is famous for it true-to-life wax likenesses for famous historical figures and celebrities, such as Taylor Swift, Neymar and even the Justice League!
