I got married at Niagara Falls. Went to such a museum & we took a few photos of one another next to characters we liked in the world of entertainment…Elvis of course etc. But my best photo was with a wax cleaner in his uniform next to his mop & bucket. What fun. A once in a lifetime thing that everyone should do. The work to create such figures is amazing and delicate & historic.
Scandalous!! I wouldn’t pay that much to see the actual people live, let alone their wax statues! What a ripoff.
Hmm… a Family Ticket would then make aprox 5% of a Hungarian middle class combined monthly wages.
Better buy cheap flight tickets and go see the original at London.
