Both my husband and I had a special taste for anything associated with history and had planned our journey accordingly. We had begun our trip with one of the most spectacular museums in the world and were now headed towards something similar. It was the Madame Tussauds which is famous throughout the globe. It is located over a departmental store known as Peek and Clopenburg in Dam Square Street.
If you think that Madam Tussauds is just a boring cabinet of old fashioned dummies made of wax, you are wrong. It is an extremely attractive indoor based amusement park. It is equipped with all the modern facilities along with a host of highly lucrative multimedia effects in order to draw tourists. It hosts figures of a large number of renowned personnel from different corners of the world. Just like any other amusement park, it has been built mainly for teenagers and children and Aaron was extremely pleased to visit this place.

The museum is named after Madame Tussaud who used to create wax replicas of dead which was one of the best modes of preserving the importance of people in olden days. It is said that at the time of her death, she had created wax figures of more than 400 people. The Madame Tussauds in Amsterdam generally opens at 10 in the morning and closes down at 6 pm. We had booked the tickets online and had to spend €22 each in order to enter the museum and were extremely impressed on having the opportunity to view such a rare collection of wax figures. Some of the figures appeared just like real human beings.
My husband even explored the opportunity to dress like Michael Jackson and take a photograph. The wax figures don’t discriminate any person based on country, caste or religion. It is just your deeds which can get you a figure standing there. I realized that the wax dummies are actually much slimmer and taller than their real counterparts. One of the staffs told me that the idea was to make the figures distinct from the normal crowd visiting the place.
