Museo de Cera

If you would like to meet Mikhail Gorbachev, Bill Clinton, Pope John Paul II and John Lennon all in the same place, you have the opportunity to do so here. The Wax Museum of Mexico City was inaugurated in 1979 in a beautiful turn-of-the-century Art Nouveau house. The fourteen exhibition halls at Museo de Cera have been especially designed to house the 160 figures that form the museum's collection, which includes famous figures from Mexico's history, as well as national and international sportsmen and women, politicians, fictional characters, rock stars and religious leaders. The museum also houses a cafeteria and souvenir shop.
