Madame Tussauds in London is a wax museum that contains over 200 life-like figures of famous people grouped into different themed zones. Some of the zones include an A-List celebrity party room, sports figures, world leaders like Obama and Churchill, music icons, and scenes recreating Hollywood movies. The museum traces its origins to wax artist Madame Tussaud who began exhibiting her wax figures in London in 1802 and it has since become one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city.
