When was the first wax museum created?

The first wax museum was established in 1776 by Madame Marie Tussaud in London, England. Tussaud, a talented sculptor, created lifelike wax figures of famous individuals, which led to the founding of the iconic Madame Tussauds museum that still operates today. The museum has since expanded globally, showcasing an extensive collection of figures from various fields, including entertainment, history, and sports.
