Meet more than 450 lifelike wax figures at the Musée Grévin in Paris, open since 1882. Celebrities, sports stars, politicians and historical figures come to life in dramatic tableaux. Explore scenes from 19th- and 20th-century France, and don't miss the Hall of Mirrors, famous for its optical illusions and light and sound effects. You can even learn how the wax figures are made on a free tour.
Before Madame Tussauds moved to London, she inspired journalist Arthur Meyer, who created this museum with noted caricaturist Alfred Grévin. Since its opening in 1882 it has been drawing homegrown crowds, and more than 70% of visitors are estimated to be French.
More than 450 lifelike wax figures are arranged into dynamic tableaux. Enjoy the listed 1900s decor too, including the marble staircase, the cupola and the baroque-style Hall of Columns.
See tableaux from French history, including the coronation of Charles VII with Joan of Arc, Sun King Louis XIV at a party at Versailles, and Napoleon Bonaparte after Waterloo. The tableau of Charlotte Corday's arrest for assassinating Jean-Paul Marat uses the actual knife and bathtub from the event.
The recently renovated Hall of Mirrors is famous for its optical illusions and dazzling light and sound effects.
Magic shows are held in the museum's small theater.
