Every visitor to London knows who Madame Tussaud is — or was. And almost
every visitor has seen her, an old lady of 81, standing at the entrance
of her own exhibition. She is made of wax, like all the models of
people in this museum. There are a lot of halls in the museum. The first
room is the "Garden Party”. Beneath a star-spangled sky, under an
oak-tree, figures from the worlds of sports and the media enjoy a
friendly drink and chat. There are statues of A. Schwarzenegger, E.
Taylor and others there. "200 Years” room covers the history of Madame
Tussaud’s over the last two centuries, and shows the developing of new
technology during that time. There are also other rooms, such as:
"Legends and Superstars”, rooms with popular music singers, the members
of royal families and military leaders. There is the "Chamber of
Horrors” which amuses visitors very much. "The Spirit of London” is a
magnificent journey through London’s history. The cabs travel past the
figure of W. Shakespeare, Sir Christopher Wren, who directs the building
of St Paul’s Cathedral. It’s not easy to tell about all interesting
things one can see in the museum. This is the place that is worth
visiting.
