Grevin

Grevin, commonly known as the Musée Grévin, is a wax museum located in Paris, France. Opened in 1882, it is one of the oldest museums of its kind in Europe. The museum presents life-size wax figures of notable people from politics, cinema, sports, science, and other areas of public life, as well as historical personalities. The figures are crafted by a team of sculptors and technicians and are displayed in tableaux that recreate scenes and settings associated with their subjects.

The collection is organized into thematic galleries, with figures arranged to evoke moments from history and contemporary culture. In addition to permanent displays, the venue regularly introduces new figures and rotating exhibitions to reflect current events and popular culture. The experience is enhanced by lighting, props, and stage-like setups designed to create engaging visual narratives.

Located in central Paris, the museum sits in a busy district near major transport links and is a frequent stop for tourists and visitors seeking a compact overview of public figures and cultural icons through lifelike sculpture. The institution has historically served educational purposes as well, offering insights into portraiture, representation, and the way public figures are perceived and remembered. Today, Musée Grévin remains a recognizable landmark in Paris, continuing to document and interpret public life through wax sculpture.
