Famous people and events immortalized in wax |
Recoletos, 41 Madrid, Madrid 28004 +34 91 319 2649 http://www.museoceramadrid.com/ |
The most famous people and events in Spanish history are displayed in remarkably life-like wax models. The crime section shows gory scenes representing the Expreso de AndalucĂa train murders. The section devoted to monarchs and heads of state also contain a frightening reproduction of a torture chamber and all the methods of inflicting pain used during the Spanish Inquisition. You'll see scenes from life during the Roman, Visigoth and Arab periods of settlement on the peninsula. And of course, no waxworks would be complete without famous figures from the worlds of art, literature, sports and science. Bullfighters make a special appearance here, because of their importance for Spanish culture. Admission: EUR12; under-10s & over-60s: EUR8. Review © 2009, Wcities |
