Denver Wax Museum- Richard Nixon

(1913-1994)

Here's a shot from the Denver Wax Museum of President Richard Nixon. The figure is fairly accurate, and doesn't look as generic as some lower quality presidential wax figures. If you want to see many of the figures from this defunct museum, make sure you visit the Forney Museum of Transportation in Denver Colorado.

Country Music Wax Museum- Rod Brasfield

Tussaud's London Wax Museum- Founding Fathers

Standing at this table in the Tussaud's London Wax Museum are three wax figures of our nation's founding fathers. From left to right are; John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin. The London Wax Museum had an eclectic array of figures, but the majority were historical. This was one of the more modest sets.

A close up of the John Adams figure. Nice detail in the face.

Thomas Jefferson, another great design.

A close up of Benjamin Franklin.
