Wax Museum

I visited the Wax Museum in San Francisco yesterday. I went with my family to San Francisco mainly to see the Golden gate bridge. It was a wonderful evening in SFO with clear skies and the golden gate looked so beautiful. Anyways, since we had some time we decided we'll go to the Wax Museum.

Right at the beginning we saw Tiger Woods, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and none of them looked real :(, already disappointed we went in to see if there was anything better. As we walked down the stairs to see the other exhibits we first came across Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet's Titanic exhibit. That's easily the worst replica of Kate Winslet that you can see...It looked nothing like her.

As we kept walking there were lots and lots of exhibits. The exhibits were mostly of presidents, world leaders, dictators, actors, scientists, artists, poets and religious figures.

My favorite wax figure was that of Adolf Hitler, it looked so real and scary. The other nice ones were that of Yasser Arafat that again looked pretty real. Benjamin Franklin and Einstein looked good too. Vladimir Putin was good as well. Cleopatra looked great but then I don't know how that compares to the real one. Eddie Murphy and John Travolta looked nice and realistic. In all honesty nothing looked better than Hitler.

Now the really bad ones were their depiction of hindusim, the religious figures didn't have names and their jewellery and clothing didn't do any justice as well. With regard to christianity Jesus preaching everyone was subaverage but the last supper was okay. With regard to other religion there was nothing breathtaking about them and I cannot critic them as I don't know anything about them.

Then we walked down to the section were egyptian mummy exhibits were kept. It was nice to see the details of the tomb and amount of work that must have been put into making these exhibits. They were good but not my favorite.

Then came the horror section that I completely skipped...but it was so awesome to see the floor with pools of blood (red colored wax really), it sort of looks real until to see it really close.

Now I got to see the sports figures Barry bonds, lance armstrong and stuff...it was okie. After this was the hollywood stars, IMO nicole kidman and marilyn monroe were good but everything else was subaverage. The worst was that of Britney Spears again it looked nothing like her. Now for the hollywood men, Keanu Reeves from Matrix looked okay from distance. The real good exhibits were that of Travolta and Eddie Murphy. The really bad exhibits were that of Governator and Clint Eastwood.

Once this section was over there was a bunch of exhibits for western actors and stuff...and then there were some exhibits for some of the famous paintings like the mona lisa. These were interesting to see but I'm sure I won't remember seeing them.

Overall I would say it was an interesting time pass. It was a lot of fun especially since I visited in a group and not just by myself. I'll post the pics sometime soon.
