(Musee Grevin in Paris - France; or Madame Tussaud Museum in London - UK; and others like these in various places.) The Wax Museum is one of those few museums that are privately owned. This old building was built during the 19th century and has a baroque architecture that includes a mirage room (full of mirrors) and a theater for magic tricks. The great marble staircase is another gem of interior architecture. The subtle combination of Louis XIV and Venetian rococo styles harmonizes perfectly with the rosewood and marble, transforming the hall of columns and the cupola into a spectacular sight. The museum presents more than three hundred wax figures set against a magnificicent decor and representing the major events of the 20th century, as well as numerous celebrities including politicians, movie stars, etc. The scenes at the Wax Museum, with their sound and animation effects, are strikingly realistic.</blockquote>
