I have to admit, I didn't know this was such a beautiful place. Although I have been to Paris as a tourist many times and have lived here since March 2012, I had never thought of going in. I prepared this article to answer the questions I received in March 2014, but my first visit to the museum was in May 2016.

First of all, I must say that I liked the Grevin Museum very much. When you enter after ticket control and reach the stairs, you gradually realize what kind of place you have come to. Especially when you go up the stairs and wait for the entrance, you admire the decoration of the mirrored stairs.

You are taken in in groups. The first hall is a place where light plays are made with mirrors. After being admitted to this hall as a group, the doors close and a sound and light show begins. This is a fascinating show in its own way, with more Indian and Far Eastern atmosphere in its 19th century settings; You feel like you're dreaming some kind of dream.

Then the doors open and you start walking down the corridors at your own pace. Of course, the travel route has a certain route and you always follow this route. The first wax statues you see seem unimpressive, but you slowly start to get into the mood.

The theater hall you see after the first corridor is very nice. Here, wax statues of France's famous movie actors welcome you. Director and lead actor of the movie “La Vie est Belle – Life is Beautiful”, which is special for me Roberto BenigniIt was to see the statue of 's statue on the upper balcony.

Also, the magnificent soprano that I love very much and set as a wake-up alarm in the morning. Cecilia BartoliIt was also a pleasant surprise for me to see the wax statue of. Again in this hall, the famous French singer Charles Aznavour's wax statue is also located between the seats in the hall. For a moment you think there's really someone sitting there, then you realize it's Charles Aznavour :)

As you leave this hall and move through the corridors, you come across famous pop stars; Madonna ve Michael JacksonI don't think they look much like the originals, but they're still nice. Famous football player who plays for Paris Saint Germain Zlatan Ibrahimovic's wax statue is also quite realistic.

Then you see wax statues of famous chefs of French cuisine. Then you encounter famous political figures from around the world. Angela Merkel, Francois Hollande, Barrack Obama He welcomes you standing; late Queen Elizabeth II elizabeth And he just sits and waits :)

Then you go down the stairs and continue your tour; This time you encounter famous characters from French history. Then, at some point, you lose yourself and - like I did - wear the costumes that are there. King Francis I of France You take a photo with (see photo at the beginning of the article) :)

Once in a while you come across a few unpleasant scenes from French history; inquisition courts, Saint Barthélemy massacre, IV. Henry's murder bothers you. Leonardo da VinciYou enjoy coming across . Also Victor Hugo's immortal work Notre Dame de Paris – The Hunchback of Notre Damefrom Esmeralda and QuasimodoSeeing also evokes a different feeling in you. Then you come across the souvenir section and you feel sad that your trip is over, but I have good news for you; Your trip does not end, there are a few more beautiful things waiting for you after this store... Then you move on to the fashion section.

This is a very beautiful salon, famous characters from French fashion history are waiting for your visit here. There are stairs on both sides in the middle of the hall. I suggest you go up these stairs and look at both sides of the hall from above. Moreover In this section, there are several presentations on how wax sculptures are made.
