See for yourself why Madame Tussauds DC is “more than just another wax museum”. The fully interactive attraction features exhibits such as ‘Behind the Scenes’ – where visitors learn about the trade secrets used to create Madame Tussauds’ wax figures.

The D.C. attraction pays homage to some of the most influential and important political figures in U.S. history from Presidents to activists and assassins to First Ladies.

New! In celebration of Black History Month, The Presidents Gallery (one of the featured exhibits) unveiled a new wax likeness of the renowned African-American abolitionist, humanitarian and spy for the Union during the U.S. Civil War, Harriet Tubman. After escaping from slavery, into which she was born, she reportedly freed more than 300 slaves via the elaborate network of safe houses known as the Underground Railroad.
