Add a review about the Madame Tussauds Museum in Hong Kong

There is a place in Hong Kong where you can have breakfast with Audrey Hepburn, without a health risk, criticize Jackie Chan's ability as a movie actor, discuss plans for a world order with Barack Obama, clarify Einstein's not clear places in the theory of relativity , send an air kiss to Marilyn Monroe and make a Selfie with Mao Zedong . This is the Hong Kong Wax Museum Madame Tussaud . The museum exhibits are so realistic that sometimes it covers a stupor at the sight of Princess Dian standing in two steps s or handsome Brad Pitt . The "birth" of a new double takes an average of six months and one million Hong Kong dollars, all this time, at the time of creating the exhibit, 20 people are at once building . By the way, all "wax" museums are called so only by tradition : figures for exhibitions have long been made exclusively from durable silicone .

The exhibits of the Hong Kong Museum of Madame Tussaud are so realistic that sometimes it covers a stupor at the sight of Princess Diana standing two steps away or Brad Pitt's handsome.

In truth, Hong Kong Museum is not r It has such a rich collection of wax celebrities, like, for example, his London "big brother". If more than 1000 figures are collected in the Tussauds museum in London, then there are only about 100 of them. But, on the other hand, it's hardly possible to see an entire company of Asian stars elsewhere, getting acquainted with the local culture is more likely.

More about the exhibits

In the Hong Kong branch of the Madame Tussauds museum, almost all the "categories" of celebrities are covered. The main attention is given, of course, to local celebrities: legends of kung fu and Asian singers, actors and stars of show business. However, there was a place for Europeans and Americans: in the halls of the museum in full glory famous Hollywood actresses, famous athletes, pop legends, as well as statesmen and members of the royal family shine.

You can take photos of Asian and European idols as much as you want and free of charge. The only person protected from paparazzi lovers is waxy Jackie Chan (you can only take photos with him for money and not for your camera). You can compensate for this with a free photo from Bruce Lee, who meets visitors at the entrance to the museum.

But to make a picture on the throne between Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, you have to defend the queue that wants to feel like a member of a noble family a lot. For the sake of completeness, use the royal cap - it's completely free.
