Your spooky guide, who’ll accompany you throughout the excursion, will show you around the museum, especially the horror movie section.

George L. Potter, who founded the museum, was fascinated when he saw wax replicas of eminent personas in a museum in London during his childhood. Inspired by the waxy reproductions, he started nurturing dreams of creating a similar museum in the US which would be the first of its kind. From 1947 onwards George Potter started collaborating with a recognized London-based wax studio, GEMS for sculpting unique statues for his museum.

Potter left no stone unturned and spared no effort in ensuring that the wax casts would be perfect in all respects. He imported top-quality wax from France and hair from Italy while sculptors were recruited from every corner of Europe. The task of shaping and fashioning the figures and statutes was carried out in Belgium.

Potter threw open the museum to the American public in 1948, and since that year, Potter’s Wax has attracted visitors from near and far in increasing numbers. Presently, Potter’s Wax Museum displays over 145 wax models of prominent US Presidents, scientists, novelists, poets, musicians, politicians, singers, and other illustrious individuals. Go ahead and book your tickets in advance. You will surely save both time and money.
