And now for something completely different...
I love wax figures, realistic statues and mannequins, life-size dioramas and tableaus. No matter how cheesy, I am always fascinated by them. A museum seems just ok without them, almost all tourist attractions are better with them. I love immerse environments and exhibitions.
I mean it can be so laughably bad, i.e. Ripley's Believe It Or Not and The Waxworks of Newport, Or, and I still can't wait to go back. I love exhibitions with elaborate sets. I even worked as an actor in one once. The more elaborate and immersive, the better it is for the imagination. I guess that what it come down to, there is a part of my heart that still likes to play pretend. Madame Tussaud's likes to play pretend too. Hence the picture. Apparently they are Obama supporters. It is a nice image, no? I found this picture on my new favorite blog House of Wax
Tell me about your favorite place you've been that comes under this category.

I've only been to ONE wax museum. Therefore, it would have to be my favorite in that category. It was the Royal London Wax Museum in Victoria, B.C. I thought it was great--although I was on my honeymoon, so that may have positively influenced my opinion.
