Madame Tussaud's
Celebrity wax museum
Madame Tussaud's is a wax museum franchise displaying lifelike sculptures of celebrities, historical figures, and fictional characters.
The original London location, founded in 1835, remains the most famous.
The name functions as shorthand for any wax museum or for eerily realistic but lifeless representations: The mannequins in that store are like something from Madame Tussaud's.
