Description Madame Marie Tussaud is known worldwide for the chain of wax museums she started over 200 hundred years ago.
Less known is that her original wax models were often of the famous and infamous people she personally knew during and after the French Revolution.
These were people like Voltaire, Robespierre, and Napoleon -- people who changed the world.
Even more, the wax figures were depicted in scenes drawn from the horrors she experienced during the reign of terror in Par.
