Things to do in Musée Grévin
The Musée Grévin is a wax museum in Paris located on the Grands Boulevards in the 9th arrondissement on the right bank of the Seine.
The museum was founded in 1882 by Arthur Meyer, a journalist for Le Gaulois, and named for its first artistic director, caricaturist Alfred Grévin. It is one of the oldest wax museums in Europe. Its baroque architecture includes a hall of mirrors based on the principle of a catoptric cistula and a theater for magic shows. The hall of mirrors was built for the Exposition Universelle in 1900. It was originally housed in the Palais des mirages designed by Eugène Hénard.
The Musée Grévin now contains some 450 characters arranged in scenes from the history of France and modern life, including a panorama of French history from Charlemagne to Napoleon III, bloody scenes of the French Revolution, movie stars, and international figures such as Albert Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi, Shah Rukh Khan, and Pope John Paul II. The tableau of Charlotte Corday murdering Jean-Paul Marat includes the actual knife and bathtub used.
New wax characters are regularly added to the Museum. Figures include Zinedine Zidane, Isabelle Adjani and Nolwenn Leroy.

Reviews Musée Grévin
“La question porte-t-elle seulement sur l'achat des billets ? Si oui, il n'y a pas de problème.”
“Apprécié l'aspect ludique de la visite, qui permet aux enfants de s'approcher des personnages, se faire photographier avec etc...(Dommage de faire une si longue queue d'attente malgré l'achat anticipé des billets).”
“Superbe visite bien expliquée”
