This museum, founded in 1882, has almost 500 wax figures depicting personalities from French history and the art world. Bump into enigmatic film director Alfred Hitchcock in a compartment on the Orient Express, see young Mozart tinkling the ivories, and get close to well-known singers, film stars and politicians. Some of French history's most poignant moments have been immortalized, such as Joan of Arc's trial and the imprisonment of young Louis XVII during the French Revolution. The museum also has a theatre and a superb son et lumière show, which was created for the 1900 World Fair. Admission: EUR15 adults; EUR9 children 6-12.
