Millions and millions of people have flocked through the doors of Madame Tussauds since they first opened over 200 years ago and it remains just as popular as it ever was. There are many reasons for this enduring success, but at the heart of it all is good, old-fashioned curiosity. Today's visitors are sent on a unique, emotionally-charged journey through the realms of the powerful and famous. The museum-style ropes and poles have gone so guests can truly get up, close and personal with A-list celebrities, sporting legends, political heavyweights and historical icons, reliving the times, events and moments that made the world talk about them. Some of Madame Tussauds' original work and earliest relics are still on display in London, including the death masks she was forced to make during the French Revolution and the Guillotine that beheaded Marie Antoinette. Guests can also marvel at probably the earliest example of animatronics -'Sleeping Beauty', a breathing likeness of Louis XV's sleeping mistress Madame du Barry sculpted in 1763, is the attraction's oldest figure on display. And then there are the more contemporary, more interactive stars. From Brad Pitt, with his squeezable bum, to Kate Moss, alongside whom you can pose for the cover of a glossy fashion mag, the biggest names in entertainment, sport and politics are all dazzlingly represented; authentic down to the very last eye lash. A visit to Madame Tussauds is essential - where else can you savour two centuries of fame and notoriety, and tell the great and good exactly what you think of them? It'll be your most famous day out ever! Disabled Access: Madame Tussauds would like to welcome everyone to our famous attraction regardless of their ability or disability. The majority of facilities and entertainment are designed to be fully accessible to disabled guests. However one area, a themed ride known as the 'Spirit of London' which opened in 1991 is a continuously moving ride requiring some physical endeavour to board and disembark, and is therefore unfortunately not accessible due to health and safety considerations. MTL Staff will ensure that Guests with disabilities are transported safely from floor to floor within our building by means of a lift specially designated for this purpose. Most facilities and entertainment are designed to be fully accessible to disabled guests. For detailed information, please speak to one of our customer service representatives. Children aged 4 and below are free.
