It was set up by [[wax figure|wax]] [[sculptor]] [[Marie Tussaud]]. == History == [[Marie Tussaud]] ([[1761]]–[[1850]]) was born [[Marie Tussaud|Marie Grosholtz]] in [[Strasbourg]], [[France]]. Her mother worked as a housekeeper for Dr. [[Philippe Curtius]], who was a [[physician]] skilled in wax modelling. Curtius taught Tussaud the art of wax modelling. In 1765, Curtius made a waxwork of [[Madame du Barry|Marie-Jeanne du Barry]], [[Louis XV of France|Louis XV]]'s mistress. A cast of that mould is the oldest work currently on display. The first exhibition of Curtius' waxworks was shown in [[1770]], and attracted a large audience. The exhibition moved to the [[Palais Royal]] in [[Paris]] in 1776. He opened a second location on [[Boulevard du Temple]] in 1782, the "Caverne des Grands Voleurs", a precursor to the later Chamber of Horrors. [[Image:Madame Tussauds NYC.jpg|thumb|left|Madame Tussauds in [[New York City]]]]Tussaud created her first [[wax figure]], of [[Voltaire]], in 1777. Other famous people she modelled at that time include [[Jean-Jacques Rousseau]] and [[Benjamin Franklin]]. During the [[French Revolution]] she made wax [[death mask]]s of prominent victims. She would search through corpses to find the decapitated heads of the citizens which the death masks were to depict. When Curtius died in 1794, he left his collection of waxworks to Marie. In 1802, she went to [[London]]. As a result of the [[Napoleonic Wars|Franco-English war]], she was unable to return to [[France]], so she travelled throughout [[Great Britain]] and [[Ireland]] exhibiting her collection. For a time, it was displayed at the [[Lyceum Theatre, London|Lyceum Theatre]]. She established her first permanent exhibition on [[Baker Street]] in London in 1835 (on the "Baker Street Bazaar"). One of the main attractions of her museum was the Chamber of Horrors. This part of the exhibition included some victims of the [[French Revolution]] and also newly created figures of murderers and other criminals. The name was given by a contributor to ''[[Punch (magazine)|Punch]]'' in 1845. Other famous people were added to the exhibition, including [[Horatio Nelson]], and Sir [[Walter Scott]]. Some of the sculptures done by Tussaud herself still exist. In 1842, she made a [[self portrait]] which is now on display at the entrance of her museum. The museum moved to its current location on [[Marylebone Road]] in 1884. In 1925 a fire destroyed many of the figures, but the moulds survived, allowing the historical waxworks to be remade. [[Image:Tussauds-washington-2007.jpg|thumb|New [[Washington, D.C.]] location]] Madame Tussaud's wax museum has now grown to become a major [[tourist attraction]] in London, incorporating (until recently) the [[London Planetarium]] in its west wing. It has expanded with branches in [[Amsterdam]], [[Berlin]], [[Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]], [[New York City]], [[Hong Kong]], [[Shanghai]] and [[Washington DC]], with an additional location scheduled to open in [[Hollywood]] in 2009. Today's wax figures at Tussauds include historical and royal figures, film stars, sports stars and famous murderers. Known as "Madame Tussauds" museums (no apostrophe), they are owned by a leisure company called [[Merlin Entertainments]], following the acquisition of [[The Tussauds Group]] in May 2007. {{Wikinewspar2|Man rips off Hitler waxwork's head in Berlin|Wax Hitler will return to museum after repairs}} In July 2008, Madame Tussauds' Berlin branch became embroiled in controversy when a 41 year old German man brushed past two guards and decapitated a wax figure depicting [[Adolf Hitler]]. This was an act of protest against showing the ruthless dictator alongside sports heroes, movie stars, and other historical figures. <ref>5</ref> == Some of Tussauds wax figures == {{update}} <!--
