Madame Tussauds Berlin (Berlin)

 store / shop, wax museum

Near Brandenburg Gate, Berlin’s version of the Madame Tussauds wax museum of notable people gained world wide attention due to the inclusion of a controversial figure: Adolf Hitler. At the 2008 public opening, a guest leapt into the display and ripped the mannequin’s head off. The figure has since been restored and placed behind glass, offering a glimpse of the final days of one of history’s most notorious individuals.
Among those on view are German politicians through the ages, a few American presidents, Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud, and musical legends from Ludwig van Beethoven to Gohann Sebastian Bach.
In a ‘behind the scenes’ area, guests learn about the real Madame Tussaud, who sculpted victims of the French Revolution.
In the exhibition’s final room, a host of celebrities from around the world like Nicole Kidman and Brad Pitt wait ready for snapshots.
