I went to Madame Tussauds in England when I was a child. It was a very strange experience! Do you expect it will be popular when it opens?
Hi Jessica, Madame Tussauds is quite popular in Indian people. i work as a travel consultant and so many people ask me to add Madame Tussauds Museum to itinerary.

Wax museums scare the bedazzles out of me!! Have you ever been to one?
Hi Joaquim, still i have not been to any Wax Museum, but i would surely visit this one in Delhi.
Hmmm, I usually avoid the touristy museums because they cost an arm and a leg, but maybe I’ll make an exception! I’m actually heading to India soon, so I may add it to my list!
