Madame Tussauds is a major tourist attraction in London and several other major cities founded by sculptor Marie Tussaud. It displays wax figures of historical figures, celebrities, and infamous criminals. Marie Tussaud created her first wax sculpture in 1777 and traveled Europe exhibiting her collection. Unable to return to France after the Napoleonic Wars, she settled in London in 1802 and opened a permanent museum on Baker Street in 1836, including the popular Chamber of Horrors section depicting murders and criminals. The museum is now located on Marylebone Road and owned by Merlin Entertainments.
