History
Madame Tussauds originated in London in the early 19th century; Dubai’s branch brings that sculpting tradition to Bluewaters with figures reflecting both global and Middle Eastern public figures.
Conservation
The museum follows conservation practices for wax preservation and asks visitors to avoid touching fragile areas; visitors should also minimize litter on Bluewaters to protect the engineered coastal environment.
