The Wax Museum in Madrid is the perfect place to spend an enjoyable afternoon, especially if you go with children. More than just an exhibition of figures, it recreates atmospheres, combines spaces and sounds, and offers a unique way of getting to know history, through the more than 450 people represented there. It introduces the visitor to people of all periods and occupations from different disciplines and fields of knowledge.
Among them we find famous athletes, politicians, and celebrities from the past and present. Included are historical figures like Cleopatra, Napoleon, and the Kings of the Hapsburg and Bourbon dynasties, among others. Among its most recent additions is an impressive figure of Pope Leo XIV, the first and only museum to house a wax sculpture of the current Pope.
The museum has placed special interest on reflecting the world of children and young people with characters like Pocoyo, Elly and Duck, E.T. or Buzz Lightyear. One of the most successful galleries with the adult audience is the Wax Horror Experience, focusing on horror films with figures like Hannibal Lecter, Nosferatu and many others.
This year, the Madrid Wax Museum has opened a new space for temporary exhibitions, Wonder Space. Here, visitors can enjoy and connect with exclusive pieces from The Vintage Company, authorised collectors and the Madrid Wax Museum itself, which will be on display for a limited time only. Through this new space, the museum is strengthening its commitment to cultural innovation and art collecting, becoming a meeting point for all those interested in cultural entertainment, visual history and interactive experiences.
