The most famous of wax museums
Inaugurated on June 5, 1882, the Musée Grévin is a private wax museum featuring numerous wax reproductions of famous figures from history.
At the time of its creation, photography was not the norm in the press, so Arthur Meyer, then Director of the daily Le Gaulois, turned to Alfred Grévin, sculptor, caricaturist and theatrical costume designer.
From then on, Alfred Grévin began creating sculptures of personalities in the news to illustrate his articles.
Today, this Parisian museum boasts over 200 wax figures, including Michael Jackson, Alfred Hitchcock and Albert Einstein.
The Musée Grévin has a performance hall, the Théâtre Grévin, in the heart of the museum. In 1964, writer André Malraux registered the theater on the supplementary inventory of historic monuments.
