It is unlikely that anyone will argue with the statement that the Madame Tussauds Museum is one of the most famous and popular museums in the world. Its doors are open to visitors for more than two hundred years. Moreover, it is increasingly expanding and replenished with new exhibits over time. In 2006, a branch of the museum was opened in Shanghai – the cultural and business capital of China. It became the sixth in the world.
The reason why Madame Tussauds wax figures attract millions of tourists from all over the world every year is simple and clear – people are curious. Remember how you also dreamed of getting close to your favorite celebrity for a while, hugging your idol and taking a photo with them as a keepsake. Maybe you wanted to be on the other side of the screen and get to know the main characters of the film. Madame Tussauds will help you partially realize these dreams.
The Shanghai branch of the museum is located on the tenth floor of the large shopping center New World Emporium which stands on Nanjing Street near the People's Square. You can recognize it by the bright red sign that meets you at the entrance. When you go up you can not only walk among the figures of celebrities but also admire the city from a bird's-eye view.
Perhaps the main difference between the Shanghai Museum and the rest is that there are figures of celebrities who are popular and loved by the residents of this city. Employees of the future museum even conducted a special survey among citizens. Of course, there are also the stars of the Celestial Kingdom.
The museum is divided into several thematic areas dedicated to famous people in the field of music, cinema, culture, politicians, athletes. There are even fictional cartoon characters. So both adults and children will be satisfied.
What about interactive entertainment? The Madame Tussauds Museum in Shanghai has modern technology. Do not miss the opportunity to chat, sing, dance, and kick the ball with famous personalities.
