Background 
The genesis of Madame Tussauds can be credited to a woman named Marie Grosholtz. Born in Strasbourg, France, Grosholtz inherited the famous wax figure collection of Dr. Philippe Curtis, which she later took around the world as a traveling exhibition. After her death in 1850, her grandsons took over the exhibit. A century later, the second Madame Tussauds attraction opened in Amsterdam. There are now locations in Las Vegas, New York, Shanghai, Washington, D.C., and other major cities around the world.

What's inside
The lifelike wax figures within Madame Tussauds are broken up into categorical areas: film, sports, music, television, history and leaders, A-list party and the newest addition, "Justice League: A Call for Heroes." Fans can take photos with their favorite figures.
