The Woman In the Wax | Marie Tussaud

Madame Tussaud’s is a household name, the famed wax museum that boasts a wide collection of celebrities and famous figures from history both recent and far-flung. But not many know the story of one woman’s lifelong labor in the field of waxworks. From humble beginnings in France, to surviving a revolution, to wandering Europe, the real Madame Tussaud became the preeminent wax creator of her time.
But before all that, she was Anna Maria Grosholtz.

I just started working for Madame Tussaud’s and I came here to learn more about my boss. Such a strong woman and a true survivor.

​@carolflf good luck 👍 ✨️ 💓

[@sweet_iris]

this story would be a great play or movie, are there any about her already?

[@tomfelis4295]

I know it is difficult to find the right images to illustrate the video. However the painting of the crowd with the women showing her breast symbolizes the revolution of 1848, painted by Eugène Delacroix, born 1798, nine years after the Revolution of 1789...

🇧🇷🇧🇷 Where can I see the wax figure of Madame Tussauds? 🇧🇷🇧🇷

In Mme Tussauds...

[@Contessa6363]

It is technically French Revolutions. The revolution is not one singular event . They are a series of revolutions.

[@angelkisses5933]

I remember reading the book Little, it's about Marie and it's a really good read. She lived in a little cupboard cos she was very small in the Palace Versailles 😂 x

[@julieodonnell8433]

Excellent video, very captivating, thank you!

[@litneyloxan]

She had to make death masks for beheaded famous figures long long before, I found that interesting

I went to the museum in Nashville, Tennessee, which I know is a far cry from anything. The Madame would have ever actually seen. Being 100% blind it was one of the deepest experiences of my life because obviously photographs do me no good, but I was able to actually touch and feel what these really famous people actually look like how tall they were how thin or fat they were etc. I’m starting to put up videos from that here on my channel. If you guys would like to see a really unique experience of enjoying wax museums, please subscribe.

Interesting, but something seems wrong. Born in 1761; at age 6 moving to Bern for some years, and then moving to Paris in 1766...

[@Daunou777]

You may need to read more books in order to expand your vocabulary. I was reading at college level while still in the sixth grade.

[@peterpiper7441]

Would be good if you got a professional to do the voice over.
