Museums in Ireland
La Ntional Wax Museum - Conor Reid - @waxmuseumplus.ie

Among Dublin’s pleasant (but not essential) museums, we recommend the Wax Museum, where you can meet international stars, or rather their wax alter egos! A pretty cool experience if you like the idea of posing next to the world’s greats, without having to ask for their autographs!

Visit Dublin’s Wax Museum

Enter a world where wax works miracles!

Okay, the Wax Museum is similar to most wax museums and has nothing to envy the Musée Grévin in Paris. However, a visit can be a lot of fun, and will allow you to discover the fabulous world of life-size reproduction! You’ll have the chance to cross paths with famous figures from the worlds of politics, show business, sport and history with a capital H: realistic reproductions, always to scale 1!

Each wax sculpture represents several thousand hours of work: all the more reason to admire them and take a selfie with your favorite stars!

Allow around 45 minutes for a tour, plus a small exhibition on the art and craft of working with wax to create these creations. A fun museum that’s sure to please kids!
