Madame Tussauds to be thrown open on Dec 1

The much-awaited Madame Tussauds museum, to be housed in the Regal building at Connaught Place (CP), will open doors to the public on December 1. The musuem will house wax figures of national and international celebrities — Madhubala, Amitabh Bachchan, Lionel Messi, Michael Jackson, Kapil Dev among others — 50 of which will be displayed at the opening.

“Madame Tussauds will serve its Indian guests with a unique and fun-filled experience, especially strategised and developed for them. With the opening of the attraction, Indians will behold a new era of entertainment, allowing them to own their moment of red carpet in showbiz,” Sabia Gulati, head of sales and marketing, Madame Tussauds Delhi, said.

The attraction will have a genre for every age group, offering visitors a fusion of rich Indian culture with international appeal. As a precursor to the opening, wax figures of many celebrities were unveiled, the latest being India’s sprint legend Milkha Singh. The figure, to be displayed in the sports zone, has been created by highly skilled artistes from Madame Tussauds from more than 300 measurements and photographs during the sitting sessions with ‘the Flying Sikh’. It is sculpted in a spectacular sprint pose chosen from his victorious win at the Common Wealth Games in 1958.
