Grevin Wax Museum @ Euljiro 1-ga

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to stand face to face with your favorite celebrities? Do you think you will pass bouts of jitters when you meet them?

DON'T WORRY!  I have found a perfect practice place for you then!

The Grevin Wax Museum in Euljiro 1-ga exhibits a fine collection of both international and korean celebrities from Tiger Woods to Tom Cruise to Psy and others. Each wax figure is modeled to real-life perfectness and sometimes look frighteningly real. Some of the exhibits themes have been borrowed straight from the movies like Godfather, Ocean's 13, etc, while others have been imagined from history books and recreated.

At my time of the visit, the museum was sparsely populated which allowed me and my friend to enjoy to the maximum. A good camera and a patient partner is a must, although it is possible in certain cases to ditch the latter. Also, it is suggested that you dress up for the visit since I am sure you don't want to be in your shirt and trousers when you meet great celebrities like Einstein and Steve Jobs.
