Louis Tussaud Wax Museum

Frommer's Review

Now a part of Tivoli, the Louis Tussaud Wax Museum (he was the great-grandson of Madame Tussaud) offers a sense of kitschy fun, and the opportunity to get "scared witless" in the dungeon. As such, it's a campy but major attraction in Copenhagen, featuring more than 200 wax figures -- everybody from Danish kings and queens to Leonardo da Vinci. Some of these wax effigies, frankly, are way off the mark, whereas other likenesses are right on target. We applaud the museum for including famous figures from Denmark instead of just concentrating on more fabled international stars and legends. Children can visit the Snow Queen's Castle, or watch Frankenstein and Dracula guard the monsters and vampires. We always head here thinking the attraction will be just too corny for us, but end up finding effigies that enthrall us.
