Wax World Museum Ooty, Stories Galore

Most of us have heard of the renowned Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, London. We have no doubt that it’s the best wax statue gallery in the entire world.  Not everyone can afford a trip to Madame Tussauds, but did you know it is not impossible to get a similar feel of the wax museum in India. At Wax Museum, Ooty, renowned for its near to life statues of Freedom Fighters and Politicians of India, you can experience artistic excellence. This Museum is established inside a Colonial Mansion which is near about 130 years old. Sri Santosh Mishra had this idea of setting up a wax museum in 2007.  

The beautiful ambiance of the ancient mansion houses about 20 life-size wax statues of celebrated Indians like  Mahatma Gandhi (the father of the nation), Mother Teresa, Gopal Krishna Gokhle, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam (former Indian President) and many more. Ooty Wax World Museum depicts the living of an Indian in a rural setup; this is what makes it different from the other wax statues around the world. The entire village scene is portrayed in front of your eyes. The brilliantly carved statues of wax are convincing when it comes to displaying the difference between an Indian villager and an urban dweller. Ooty Museum displays the traditions, customs and history of India in wax forms. For kids especially, this place is educational yet enjoyable. Come see this museum along with all other Ooty Places. It is another must-visit attraction not to miss in your Ooty tour package.

Along with the overabundance of natural beauty, lakes, waterfalls, wildlife, World Wax Museum holds a significant place among all Ooty Tourist Places. Just near the museum, there are many restaurants and cafes where you can grab a quick snack or meal before or after your Museum Visit.
