The last museum I’ll be creating a post about is the ‘Grevin Museum‘.

Grevin Museum has over 130 years of history in it from its foundation back in 1882 in Paris with the collaboration of Arthur Meyer and Alfred Grevin.

From then till now the museum has given visitors a chance to meet famous personalities from all over the world based on the spirit of its founders, producing and exhibiting over 2,000 wax figures right from its opening until today.

Right after celebrating its 130th anniversary in 2012, the museum began expanding globally, opening a branch in Montreal in 2013, in Prague in 2014, and finally in Seoul in 2015.

Today, we will learn more about Grevin Museum which I visited back in 2017.

Navigating through the museum:

1st Floor

Of course, has the entrance, the shop where you can buy original artists’ goods and also the awesome elevator that will transport you through time to meet the most iconic personalities!

2nd Floor

You can enjoy the remarkable party with worldwide stars! Meet celebrities who became icons of beauty, fashion, film, K-Pop, music and more!

3rd Floor

There’s the very realistic presidential aircraft that will take you to the flight of a lifetime! Meet leaders of the world and also play an aircraft landing game once you reach the cockpit. There are also sports champions and amazing artists along with their masterpieces. You’ll also get to experience how wax figures are first made and conceptualized digitally.

4th Floor

You get to walk the red carpet and meet the most popular Hallyu stars, historical figures of Korea, most influential inventors, creators and peace leaders beyond time and space!

Interactive Games

What I’ve also actually enjoyed a lot about Grevin Museum are the interactive games they’ve prepared for their visitors like playing casino roulette with Brad Pitt and the George Clooney, a game of basketball with Michael Jordan or baseball, wax figure making, a quiz game with Einstein and Steve Jobs, airplane landing simulator, pop art making, facial editing game, and a music quiz game with John Lennon!

I may not be able to put up pictures of the games here, but that’s because I’ve enjoyed them to the point I totally forgot to ask for my pictures to be taken. Haha.

Additional tips:

Alright. So, there you have it! These are the information I can relay to you guys based on my visit there and also on their website.

The feeling of being there is like actually meeting the real stars, just that they aren’t moving. Still, seeing these wax figures made me feel like I’ve seen those icons up close without needing to pay much and the fact that most of them were born in a different generation, it feels good that this kind of place can bring me closer to them.

Anyway, you should visit Grevin Museum and enjoy the fun-filled adventure of navigating through four floors filled with amazing personalities. 🙂
