Can you tell who it is yet?
I've never really understood the point of Waxworks Museums. It's celebrities, made of wax, looking like they normally look. So why go?
Except that this one, in a small seaside town is brilliant. It's partly because they stopped adding to their collection sometime in the 80s and so it's a time capsule of fading or enduring celebrity. It's also brilliant because they set up this tension between how the celebrity should look and how they are rendered in wax - as something vaguely resembling the person in question. Check out the Hitler waxwork who looks like a drunk impersonating the Fuhrer at a Fancy Dress Party. The Beatles look like ... well actual creepy crawly beatles.
Can you guess who the others are?
