In Madame Tussauds Amsterdam you can meet famous Dutch and foreign personalities.
As well as the renowned wax figures of famous people, you can also see technical
high points in the form of moving figures at Madame Tussauds.
130 WAX FIGURES
There are 130 life-like wax figures on display at Madame Tussauds. You can have
your photo taken with famous foreign personalities such as Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Oprah Winfrey en Marilyn Monroe. But of course we also have our own Dutch heroes.
A recent addition to this collection is the children's book writer Annie M.G.
Schmidt. Each personality is faithfully portrayed as they are in real life.
GOLDEN AGE
At Madame Tussauds you not
only meet wax figures from this century. People from Holland’s Golden
Age are also on display. Rembrandt, Vermeer, Peter Stuyvesant and many others,
often ordinary people, from this time can be found wandering along the canal
or sitting comfortably in a cafe drinking something. If you want to see what
Amsterdam looked like 300 years ago then you must visit this floor.
MOVING
FIGURES
Do you like modern things more? Then go to the floor where Wubbo
Ockels, the first Dutch astronaut will greet you. He is wearing the space suit
that he actually wore in the Challenger and he is audio-dynamic. While you are
there, take a look at Claas Janszoon, a 5 m tall wax figure. This is the largest
animatronic figure in the world. The figure can move and talk like a human.
When you are on the top floor take a look out of the famous round window. From
there you have a magnificent view over the Dam and the Royal Palace
