Madame Tussauds Hong Kong is a subsidiary of the famous Madame Tussauds chain of waxwork museums found in several parts of the globe. These museums present wax replicas of celebrities in different fields, so lifelike and realistic that it is impossible to identify them as mere reproductions of real human beings.
Just as in other Madame Tussauds museums, the waxworks are presented in different themed sections; each section features the currently best known celebrities as well as figures from the past. The Hong Kong Madame Tussauds features almost 100 waxworks, of which more than a third are personalities from Asia.
‘Hong Kong Glamour’ features many of the beautiful and famous from across the globe, including such well-known names as Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, Brad Pitt, Bruce Lee, Elle Macpherson, Gerard Depardieu, Hugh Grant, Mel Gibson, Naomi Campbell and many others. ‘World Premiere’ features some of the best known names from the movie scene around the world, with luminaries such as Pierce Brosnan, Elizabeth Taylor, Andy Lau, Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins and Marilyn Monroe just to name a few.
‘The Champions’ as the name suggests is a collection of sporting superstars including David Beckham, Muhammad Ali, Yao Ming, Tiger Woods, Ronaldinho and Liu Xiang. Meanwhile ‘Music Icons’ features such well-known names as Elvis Presley, Madonna, Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger, The Beatles, Lady Gaga and more.
On the other hand ‘Historical and National Heroes’ presents iconic historical figures such as Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Winston Churchill, The Prince of Wales, Barack Obama as well as individuals like Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein.
Not to be missed is the SCREAM feature which includes all kinds of horrors and terrifying lunatics, psychopaths and monsters which are guaranteed to provide the visitor with the thrill of a lifetime.
Each of the waxworks at Madame Tussauds is crafted with incredible precision and attention to detail, so that the slightest feature is brought out with totally lifelike realism. Each waxwork needs up to six months to create, and costs about HK$ 1 million to complete.
