HOLLYWOOD, USA - Madame Tussauds

DSCF4737Madame Tussauds is the most famous wax museum with over 17 branches located all over the world. I made it a point to visit Madame Tussauds while in Hollywood since I have missed visiting this place several times while visiting other cities.

Madame Tussauds Hollywood was opened in 2009 and the inside, is divided to few sections comprising of the Courtyard, Red Carpet Arrival, A-List Party, Spirit of Hollywood, Westerns, Crime, Modern Classics, Sport Heroes, Action Heroes and etc.
