It was there that Madame Tussaud learned to model wax likenesses under the tutelage of her mentor, Dr. Philippe Curios. during the French Revolution, was hastily forced to prove her allegiance to the feudalistic nobles by making death masks of executed aristocrats. Madame Tussaud came to Britain in the early 19th century alongside a traveling exhibition of revolutionary relics and images of public heroes and rogues, In 1835, Madame Tussaud’s exhibition established a permanent base in London as the Baker Street Bazaar- visitors paid ‘sixpence’ for the chance to meet the biggest names of the day. The attraction moved to its present site in Marylebone Road come 1884. In 2000, Madame Tussauds arrived to the United States with opening it’s first attraction in Las Vegas, Nevada. The attraction received such great response that in 2000, Madame Tussauds opened its door in New York City’s Times Square location.
