Description: The wax museum is located in the center on the Dam Square right on the Royal Palace or the New Church. You can reach it well with good public transport or on foot. The Madame Tussauds is open daily from 10:00 - 17:30 clock. To get in you have to pay 19,95 euro’s which is expensive and it made me doubt if that was worth the money. There was also a really long queue but we decided to go in anyway.
At the entrance you are greeted with the first celebrities and we saw Johnny Depp of the movie Pirates of the Caribbean in which the room was styled. It looked really impressive and although I never met Johnny in real life I can imagine he would look like that.
Now you had to go to an elevator, to get to the other figures. This elevator was not immediately there but going up costs us around 3 minutes and then you get at the fourth floor and you could enter the wax museum.
Upon entering the cabinet there was a very large figure standing in the form of a man who told everything of the history of Amsterdam and while we told the story some wax figures were lid up and were dark again. It was really nice the way they told us and really entertaining.
One level further down you could then politicians discover the world and also the members of the Dutch royal family. Even Anne Frank, famous painters such as Van Gogh, Picasso, there were readjusted. Some could not immediately recognize but it was always to the side of it a sign where you could see who was to see exactly. I can say I do not have all recognized and liked it very much that you could look up who that is. Elvis, Michael Jackson and see many many more: One level further down we came to music stars were there.
But even here it was realized not every person. What was funny that the late pope was to be found between the music and movie stars, he has been fitted between any circumstances. Even not every actor could not immediately see who it was but there were Mel Gibson, Brad Pitt, etc. there.
There is a shop at the end with some nice things and also again stuf of the Pirates of the Caribbean but to be honest everything was overpriced. When you leave the shop could climb the 4 floors to walk down or use a lift. In the staircase area could be seen still the butt of Jennifer Lopez and some handprints. But nothing more.
The price for this visit of the Wax Museum is just too high for it to be just a few figures shown.
Interestingly it was already see this in Amsterdam, because I knew that's only from London. I must say that with London but has simply fallen much better. What a positive aspect that's really the people are represented in life size. A visit there last as between half an hour to perhaps 45 minutes.. Therefore the price is way too overpriced. So I commend you, dear visited many other museums, which are made much more beautiful.
