Museo de Cera

The Museo de Cera in Madrid, which opened in 1972 on the Paseo de Recoletos, is a wax museum featuring around 450 life-size figures. Here you'll come face to face with famous figures from history, politics, sports, art, and entertainment, including Christopher Columbus, Fidel Castro, the Beatles, and modern stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio. The collection is rounded out by fictional characters like Superman, Harry Potter, and Mary Poppins, as well as reconstructed scenes from Spanish history. Beyond the classic exhibits, visitors can also enjoy a chamber of horrors, a ghost train ride, and a multivision hall where Charles V recounts the history of Spain.
