Musée Grévin
Museum Wax museum in Paris featuring historical and celebrity figures
Musée Grévin offers lifelike wax figures and staged historical scenes on the Grands Boulevards, mixing celebrity portraits, period sets and interactive photo opportunities.
Musée Grévin is a Paris wax museum founded in 1882 that displays life-size wax figures of historical personalities, contemporary celebrities and staged scenes. The museum was created during the late 19th century as a popular attraction combining portraiture and theatrical settings.
Visitors move through themed rooms and tableaux where wax figures are arranged in reconstructed historical or cultural scenes. The collection has grown through additions and updates to reflect new public figures while preserving historic tableaux.
The museum is located in the Grands Boulevards area of Paris, within the 9th arrondissement, and is a short walk from central Paris theatres and boulevards.
- Rotating figures: The museum presents celebrity and historical figures as wax likenesses and updates figures regularly to reflect current public figures and events.
