Fodor's Review:

If you like wax museums, this one founded in 1882 ranks with the best of them. Pay the steep entry price and begin by ascending a grand Phantom-of-the-Opera-like staircase that leads into the Palais des Mirages, a mirrored salon from the 1900 Paris Exposition that transforms into a hokey light-and-sound show the kids will love (it was a childhood favorite of designer Jean-Paul Gaultier). From there, get set for a cavalcade of nearly 300 statues, from Elvis to Ernest Hemingway, Picasso to NBA star (and Frenchman) Tony Parker. Every king of France is here, along with Michael Jackson and Marilyn Monroe, who share space with scores of more obscure French singers and celebrities.
