Our Star-studded Experience at Madame Tussauds Singapore
We visited Madame Tussauds over the weekend and boy, were we star-studded! The well-known wax museum opened its doors in 2014 and houses wax figures of celebrities and historical figures, including those of Singapore.
A Brief History of Madame Tussauds Singapore
Madame Tussauds is a wax museum that started from an exhibition in Paris 200 years ago. It currently has 20 Madame Tussauds Museums located all over the world, including 3 in China!
The Journey to The Wax Museum
We decided to take the Sentosa Express which started from Sentosa Station at VivoCity level 3. We alighted at Merlion Station and headed to Madame Tussauds, which was less than a 5-minute walk from the station.
Stepping into Singapore’s Past
When we got there, we went to watch Images of Singapore Live first, which was a 30-minute walk-around performance showcasing the history of Singapore – from the Japanese occupation to its being a first-world country. We should also mention that the actors in this performance were really into their roles, clearly providing an almost real enactment of Singapore’s History.
A Visit to The Main Attraction
After the performance, you can head to the main attraction which is the wax museum. The museum is a one-way route and the first stop is History and World Leaders. You’ll be greeted by world leaders and historical figures such as Obama, the Royal Family and Lee Kuan Yew.
The Astonishing Realism of the Wax Figures
Look at how realistic the wax figures look! Some of the visitors were so amazed – they just stood there and stared at the wax figures – as if waiting for them to move!
Interactive Galleries for Fun and Learning
There are also interactive galleries such as Sports Galleries. Visitors can have their hand at table tennis, basketball and even soccer! Props such as clothes and costumes are also included for visitors to take photos with.
From Hollywood to Bollywood
Other galleries include films where movie characters such as E.T. and Audrey Hepburn are. There are also Bollywood stars!
A Melodious Encounter with Music Legends
In the music gallery, singers such as Lady Gaga and Beyoncé await. Singapore’s homegrown singers Stefanie Sun and JJ Lin are in there as well!
