Many other well known people from the past and
today will welcome you as
if they were real, sometimes even confusing you.
Located on the animated right bank boulevards, the Grevin wax museum also features spectacular wax scenes from French history, in particular from the dramatic 1789 French
revolution.
The Grevin wax museum has a funny architecture.
It features a mirage room and a theater for magic tricks. Children will like the whole museum and
will be excited by its many deforming mirrors.
