Madame Tussauds
Madame Tussauds is a wax museum of notable personalities in history, politics, film, sports, and entertainment. The Hong Kong museum, opened in 2000, features immersive and interactive zones that bring to life not only individuals but also cultural landmarks.
“We use high technology like AR, VR, even hologram experience that you are able to not only pose with your favorite icons but also talk, dance, and play with them,” Madame Tussauds Hong Kong General Manager Jenny You told Philippine Primer in an interview. “We bring this experience to life!”

Pia Wurtzbach’s Wax Twin
Pia Wurtzbach’s wax figure is a striking resemblance to the memorable coronation of Miss France as the Miss Universe 2016. Now, museum visitors can experience being crowned by Pia Wurtzbach herself!
The figure includes iconic prop pieces such as the Swarovski-embellished royal blue ball gown by Michael Cinco as well as her matching drop earrings. The unmistakable Phoenix Mikimoto crown, the current official Miss Universe crown, replaces the Diamonds International Corporation crown.
After the unveiling, it will be brought to its permanent home in Hong Kong where it will join other of the world’s biggest icons including Kim Kardashian, Brad Pitt, Michelle Yeoh, Bruce Lee, and Jackie Chan.
