Museo de Cera — Attraction in Madrid

The Museo de Cera in Madrid offers a unique and immersive experience that combines artistry, history, and entertainment. As I stepped into its halls, I was immediately struck by the lifelike wax figures that populate every corner, bringing historical and contemporary personalities to life.

The attention to detail in each wax figure is truly remarkable. From world leaders to celebrities, historical figures to fictional characters, each sculpture captures the essence and likeness of its subject with astonishing accuracy. It's almost as if these figures are ready to spring to life at any moment.

Walking through the museum felt like a journey through time and space. Historical scenes, cultural icons, and movie characters are all represented, creating a diverse tapestry of human achievement and creativity.

One of the museum's highlights is the Chamber of Horrors, where visitors can delve into the darker side of history. This section, with its eerie lighting and meticulously crafted scenes, adds an element of thrill and suspense to the overall experience.

The Museo de Cera is not just a museum; it's a celebration of craftsmanship and storytelling. It's an ideal destination for individuals of all ages, offering an engaging blend of education and entertainment. Whether you're a history buff, a movie enthusiast, or simply curious about the world around you, this museum provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the most iconic figures in history and...

Please read this review before you book your tour.

You buy the ticket online or at the box office and you enter the place, it all looks normal and typical, you know, a wax museum, celebrities from music, cinema, literature, politicians, you name it, it is all fun and cozy. The museum's last tour is at 15:30, which is not weird unless you know there is something else that starts happening at 7.

We registered in the Infection escape the room, which happens a couple of hours after the last customer leaves. I won't spoil it for you but they basically change a few things in the museum and turn the place into a zombie land where you have to find a way to escape. They get military people who are so into character and they get people to play zombies, who are also awesome. Most of the elements in the museum become part of the game, I never expected to have an escape the room with The Beatles being involved for instance, or Adele.

The game is so much fun, it is way way more fun than the actual museum, but visiting the museum first and a few hours later playing the game was even more fun because you see the museum from two difference lenses. I can't recommend this enough, both the museum tour and the infection zombie escape the room, absolute joy and one of the most fun activities I did...

A very nice experience, would recommend. In the ticket are included 3 "galleries" to visit, a small fun horror area upstairs and a "train of terror" ride, all inside of that building! I was surprised by how big in reality it is, they planned it very well.

The statues are incredibly detailed but some of them feel cramped and out of place? (Like Leonardo Di Caprio's statue in a modern suit in the Western area). But overall I loved the museum!

They also have an AR experience on their website which you can activate through the QR codes! They give additional information about the characters in display and activities that make you temporarely unlock filters for instagram and tiktok, it's very cute. Only flaw is that the website was very slow and because of that it took a lot of time for me to visit the exposition... almost 3 hrs! But you will take way less if you speed up or ignore the QR codes I guess....
