(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Madame Tussauds is a wax museum in London, England, with branches in Amsterdam, Hong Kong (Victoria Peak), Las Vegas and New York.Madame Tussaud is Marie Tussaud, born in Strasbourg on 7 December 1761, her name was Marie Grosholtz (sometimes spelled Grossholtz or Grossholz). Her father was a soldier named Joseph Grosholtz. He died before she was born, killed in the Seven Years' War. Her mother took her to Berne were she moved to work as a housekeeper for Dr. Philippe Curtius.
Curtius was a physician, born in 1741. He was skilled with wax, which he used to illustrate anatomy. Later he started to do portraits. Tussaud called him uncle.
Curtius moved to Paris in 1765, starting work to set up a wax figure cabinet. In that year he made a wax work of Marie Jean du Barry, Louis XV's mistress. A cast of that mould is the oldest work currently on display.
In 1767 Tussaud and her mother joined Curtius and also moved to Paris. The first exhibition of Curtius' wax works was shown in 1770, and attracted a lot of people. The exhibition moved to the Palais Royal in 1776. He opened a second location on Boulevard du Temple in 1782, the "Caverne des Grands Voleurs", a precursor to the later chamber of horrors.
Curtius taught Tussaud the art of wax modelling. She started to work for him and showed a lot of talent. She created her first wax figure in 1778, it was of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Other famous persons she did in that time include Voltaire and Benjamin Franklin.
In Paris Tussaud became involved in the French Revolution. She met many of its important figures, including Napoleon and Robespierre. On the other hand she was also on very good terms with the royalty. In particular, from 1780 up to the revolution in 1789 she taught art to the sister of Louis XVI at Versailles. It was for this reason that she was arrested by the revolution on suspicion of royalist sympathies. In prison she awaited execution by guillotine together with Joséphine de Beauharnais. Even tough Tussauds head was already shaven for her execution she was saved for her talent in wax work and employed to make death masks of the victims of the guillotine. Some of which were personal friends of hers. Among others she made death masks of Marie Antoinette, Marat and Robespierre.
When Curtius died 1794 he left his collection of wax works to Tussaud. In 1795 she married François Tussaud. They have two children, Joseph and François
In 1802 Marie Tussaud went to London together with her first son, Joseph, then 4 years old. Her second son staying behind. As a result of the French-England war she was unable to return to France. With her collection she travelled throughout Great-Britain and Ireland. In 1821 or 1822 her second son joins her again. She established her first permanent exhibition in Baker Street in 1835 (on the "Baker Street Bazaar")
In 1838 she wrote her Memoirs. In 1842 she made a self portrait which is now on display at the entrance of her museum.
One of the main attractions of her museum was the 'Chamber of Horrors'. This part of the exhibition included some victims of the French Revolution but also newly created figures of murders and other criminals. The name was given by a contributor to Punch in 1845.
Also famous people were added to the exhibition, including Horatio Nelson, and Sir Walter Scott. Some of the sculptures done by Tussaud herself still exist.
She died in her sleep on 16 April 1850 in London.
The museum moved to its current location on Marylebone Road in 1884. In 1925 a fire destroyed many of the figures, but fortunately the moulds survived allowing the historical wax works to be resurrected.
Madame Tussaud's wax museum has now grown to one of the major tourist attraction in London and also incorporates the London Planetarium in its west wing. It has expanded with branches in Amsterdam, Hong Kong (Victoria Peak), Las Vegas and New York. Today wax figures of the Tussauds include historical and royal figures, film stars, sports stars and famous murderers.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A museum is a building where interesting or valuable objects, such as works of art and historical artifacts, are kept, studied and displayed. Museum are typically organized around a particular subject such as modern art, aviation history, local history, etc. Some subjects are quite general like art or science.
Egyptian pieces in the British MuseumThey are usually open to the general public for a fee. Some museums have free entrance, either permanently or on special days, e.g. once per week or year.
The museum is usually run by a curator, who has a staff that cares for the objects and arranges their display. Many museums have associated research institutes, who are frequently involved with studies related to the museum's items.
Either the museum itself or an associated institute may organize expeditions to acquire more items for the museum, an activity famously depicted in the opening of the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Museums may also acquire items through donations, sales or trades. For instance, a museum featuring Impressionist art may receive a donation of a Cubist work which simply cannot be fit into the museum's exhibits, but it can be used to help acquire a more relevant painting. Larger museums will have an "Acquisitions Department" whose staff is engaged fulltime in this kind of activity.
Museums often cooperate to sponsor joint and often traveling exhibits on particular subjects where one museum may not have a sufficient collection or where the greatest works on a subject are collected. This exhibits have limited engagements, and are often require an additional entry fee.
The word comes from the Latin museum, which is in turn derived from the Greek mouseion, which refers to a place or temple dedicated to the Muses, the patron divinities in Greek mythology of the arts.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | SEAL, n. A mark impressed upon certain kinds of documents to attest their authenticity and authority. Sometimes it is stamped upon wax, and attached to the paper, sometimes into the paper itself. Sealing, in this sense, is a survival of an ancient custom of inscribing important papers with cabalistic words or signs to give them a magical efficacy independent of the authority that they represent. In the British museum are preserved many ancient papers, mostly of a sacerdotal character, validated by necromantic pentagrams and other devices, frequently initial letters of words to conjure with; and in many instances these are attached in the same way that seals are appended now. As nearly every reasonless and apparently meaningless custom, rite or observance of modern times had origin in some remote utility, it is pleasing to note an example of ancient nonsense evolving in the process of ages into something really useful. Our word "sincere" is derived from sine cero, without wax, but the learned are not in agreement as to whether this refers to the absence of the cabalistic signs, or to that of the wax with which letters were formerly closed from public scrutiny. Either view of the matter will serve one in immediate need of an hypothesis. The initials L.S., commonly appended to signatures of legal documents, mean locum sigillis, the place of the seal, although the seal is no longer used -- an admirable example of conservatism distinguishing Man from the beasts that perish. The words locum sigillis are humbly suggested as a suitable motto for the Pribyloff Islands whenever they shall take their place as a sovereign State of the American Union. |
