Good that Macron doesnt know how crowded this place is during the pandemic - otherwise he would probably close this museum.. No distance marker on the floor and so crowded that you cannot move without touching other guests.. Very unsafe feeling during the whole time of our visit.. Avoid this place when its raining outside! It is completely overcrowded..
This was a truly surprising museum! There are many French VIPs, but so many international ones as well. We had a great time! The art work is outstanding
I visited this museum in September. The number of exhibits was quite vast... However the area is very small and crowded. It was. Very difficult to enjoy the figures and take pictures with them due to the crowds in the small rooms. No measures taken due to COVID situation
The museum was founded in 1882 by Arthur Meyer, a journalist for Le Gaulois, on the model of Madame Tussauds founded in London in 1835 and named for its first artistic director, caricaturist Alfred Grévin. It is one of the oldest wax museums in Europe. Its baroque architecture includes a hall of mirrors based on the principle of a catoptric cistula in 2018, a young American author, composer, interpreter and designer, Krysle Lip was in charge of the artistic and esthetical transformation of the Hall of Mirrors The hall of mirrors was built for the Exposition Universelle in 1900 It was originally housed in the Palais des mirages designed by Eugène Hénard.
This is one of the best museum that Ive ever been, like the Ladybug and Chat noir?! Oh my gosh! They were there and I thought that it was just a cartoon but it also represent the paris, so I really really love in here, just because Im a fan of miraculous ladybug and Chat Noir, I really love you 🐞 🐾
Wax museum of Paris more than a century old. We had a complementary entry with our PARIS PASS.The light and sound show at the beginning itself was amazing. Followed by very life like wax statues of celebrities, politicians, Sports stars etc. We spent about an hour here.The staff were very courteous and friendly.
This is a great place to visit. The figures are very realistic. You can take pictures become a star! The ticket cost is a bit steep but dont let that put you off.
Very nice place I recommend it to u people visiting Paris for first time .
Bit crowded, but decent enough for a couple of hours time wasting. Lots of French waxworks, of course, but quite a surprising number of US/other European stars too.
Quite a decent wax museum, not too crowded.
This museum is a blast! The sculptures are very real and you can interact with them without many (or any) interference from the staff. Have fun taking pictures with your favorite Hollywood stars or even with historical personalities such as Einstein and Leonardo DaVinci.The tickets are a bit expensive (20€) but its totally worth it! Its a nice place to visit with friends and family. At the end they have a nice souvenir store and the galleries nearby are enchanting.
Amazing feel and show. Even I was skeptic, finally I was impressed
Very fun place to be at, given this is my 1st visit to a wax museum. Pieces are lifelike and staffs are friendly and fun.
Such a fun place to go to. Loved the light show at the beginning
Staff was very Ileterate & pathetic.Museum is almost okay.
The place that you can find your favorite celebrities to take photo with them ;) ;) ;) i love how they attention to small details
Very well set providing a very interesting tour. Nevertheless, the name plates should be more readable and many audio and visual descriptions should also be in English at least
The Musée Grévin (French: [myze ɡʁevɛ̃]; Euronext: GREV) is a wax museum in Paris located on the Grands Boulevards in the 9th arrondissement on the right bank of the Seine, at 10, Boulevard Montmartre, Paris, France. It is open daily; an admission fee is charged. The musée Grévin also has locations in Montreal and Seoul.==History== The museum was founded in 1882 by Arthur Meyer, a journalist for Le Gaulois, on the model of Madame Tussauds founded in London in 1835 [1] and named for its first artistic director, caricaturist Alfred Grévin. It is one of the oldest wax museums in Europe. Its baroque architecture includes a hall of mirrors based on the principle of a catoptric cistula[2] in 2018, a young American author, composer, interpreter and designer, Krysle Lip was in charge of the artistic and esthetical transformation of the Hall of Mirrors [3] The hall of mirrors was built for the Exposition Universelle in 1900.[4] It was originally housed in the Palais des mirages designed by Eugène Hénard.[5]The Musée Grévin now contains some 450 characters arranged in scenes from the history of France and modern life, including a panorama of French history from Charlemagne to Napoleon III and bloody scenes of the French Revolution, with the original wax figures of the late 19th and early 20th centuries witnessing their technical evolution. By contrast, the more contemporaneous movie stars, athletes, and international figures such as Albert Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi, Shah Rukh Khan, Pablo Picasso, Michael Jackson, Josephine Baker and Pope John Paul II use the modern techniques of modeling. The tableau of Charlotte Corday murdering Jean-Paul Marat created in 1889 includes the actual knife and bathtub used.New wax characters are regularly added to the Museum among more than 2000 made since it opened. They include Zinedine Zidane, Jean Reno, Monica Bellucci, Jean Dujardin, Isabelle Adjani[4] and Nolwenn Leroy.[Bollywood celebrities whose wax has been added include Shah Rukh Khan[7], Aishwarya Rai[8] and Ranveer Singh.
So funny, need to be at widder space to be able to add more celebrities
Its a great museum but the building is starting to be too small for the collection. The price is a little more than what it should though €22.5 per adult and €20.50 for students...
Too cool. This place is so amazing!
Was a pleasant surprise. Museum Pass will take you through otherwise there is a ticket for the entry
Its a good museum if you have kids.Also if you know the French artists
Lots of wax models of famous people, especially French.
A good place that has great artwork - wax statues - representing the French history and culture plus some world elite people statues.
So realistic, true to life, good way to pass the time
Is not like london this is true but was verry nice and not so small
Nice place but too many people when is summer time
Not too good not too bad
Fun, worth a visit.
Amazing museum, really polite personal working, I totally recommend it.It’s mostly for hole families, kids and adults will enjoy the entertainment activities.
The wax museum of Paris. An awsome place to visit. Musee grevin is located right next to metro stop. Closing time is at 6 pm, however, at 5.25 or 5.30 the staff at museum starts to get ready for packup and start to create disturbance and push you complete the tour quickly.The room where political leaders dummies are placed is cramped and makes it difficult to take pics and move around during rush hours. The room where figures from history are placed is also congested.Overall the quality of wax work is excellent giving very realistic touch. Worth visiting a place.
One of the best attractions in Paris despite the subtle appearance. Contains many wonderful wax statues of famous celebrities that are replaced every now and then. A must see
It was so much fun..
Beautiful location.
Great place! Would be 5 stars if only some celebrities were more accurate, you have a lot of French famous people from centuries and from the present aside from that the Grévin is a visit you will enjoy at all :) you even have The Voice chairs and scenario to take a couple of funny and great pictures. Lots of places to eat nearby!
Really cool wax museum. I would visit again.
Very funny but interesting place about some historical events and personage !!! A must visit museum for once.
Great place for adults and children!!
I liked it and I enjoyed with famous people all in one place :)
So cool 😀

Kids loved it
Interesting composition, with different themes
Worth visiting...loved the initial show
It was really beautiful and nice day
Its much like madame tussauds, but nevertheless still very enjoyable. We happened to stumble on this place by mistake, but had very little time left on our hands for the day. So couldnt explore much.
Similar to Madame Tussauds.. but also delivered nice mannequin.. well done 👌
Good place to visit
Not as good as I thought but still not bad. 5 Star. A good tourist place if u visit France. Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰🌹
A great place to visit. Lots of selfie opps
Amazing, no way to miss it, 1 of best attractions in Paris, your battery will get out from photos
Not up to the mark but a beautiful experience
That was awesome experience to see like real people in front of me. You cant really distinguish if these are real or statues
Great. Many famous people! Large area. I can recommend!
Lovely place
First times visit in Museé france
Very nice place for visit
A lovely tourist spot where we spent an hour and a half. Entrance fees for us were 24.50 euros for an adult, for a student it was 22.50 and for 5 - 15 years old it was 18.00 . As a treat we spent 75 euros on photographs that were taken by the museum in the theatre part and that was for 4 printed photos and 82 photos that were taken of us that the museum will send by email which we can download within a year. Yes it is expensive but it is a one time thingy!!
Bof
I prefer this museum to the Madame Tussauds of London. More different, artistic and beautiful.
Very calm because of the Covid 19 . Amazing balade with family . I recommend at this time
I was really surprised with the Grevin Museum. The reviews were so mixed. That said, I had a grand time. The light show seen when you first enter, similar to the Infinity Mirrors exhibition, is kinda cool. It helps you transition from reality to fantasy. This place did not take itself too seriously!I took my time looking at the figures (some of which were very realistic) and thus saw quirky things and bits of information. I posted a picture of Mozart with headphones as an example. How cute is that! Youll also have fun posing with some of your idols.One downside is that it was often difficult to read the information on the subjects because there was not enough light. Your cellphone flashlight will come in very handy.
Great place, absolutely must visit being in Paris.
Good
Interesting was to see French history. Go when its not crowded.
Nice place and nice people, you can take many photos with celebrities
GreatI like it more than madam tussaud
We had a bit higher expectations for this museum. The price is quite high for the size of museum and its very crowdy at all times. You will need 40mins max to go around everything.
The figures are so real, it is impossible to differentiate from real persons.
I was pleasantly surprised by this museum. To be frank Ive only been to few wax museums before, and most felt dull to me.The quality of most pieces here was very good, some better than others. Whats special in my opinion about this place is the atmosphere, its much livelier that other similar museums, and some of the show rooms are very well arranged, you immediately feel transported to another period!
You have to wait minimun 1 hour to get inside. 22.50€Its beautiful inside, but not too much wax just few actors.
A great experience!!We went next door to the Hard Rock Cafe to purchase gifts. On our visit it was over 80 degrees F and there was NO air conditioning inside Hard Rock. We were hot and irritated, but my daughter made the suggestion and we decided to visit the Grévin on a whim, thinking we’d just quickly trip through. the museum had AC and we ended up staying nearly 2 hours taking photos with all the celebrities.I recommend a visit...it’s worth the effort and it’s a lot of fun!!
Must to see this small museum! Many celebrities made very realistic of candle wax in life size. Lots of items and clothes from those times.Recommended! The ticket costs 35 euros.
Best
Great wax museum in Paris. It is a nice change of scenery as its different that the other attractions. There are so many characters depicted there including actors, politicians, athletes, etc. There is also a light/illumination show which is nice. Few things to keep in mind, the ticket price is fairly high compared to other attractions, and the place is not a stroller friendly (there is so many stairs that I had to keep picking up my babys stroller).
It was so cool, so many perfect sculptures
Great wax works. Definitely recommend. And then go over the road to the Irish pub.
A different type of art, mainly a wax figure of French celebrities molded a good balance of history and contemporary character description fashion. We took pictures, most of them. A great experience, especially when you are with a group of friends or family. The only disappointment is that poor quality lighting can improve image quality in some rooms. Otherwise, just go!

Super views again I want to get back there !!!
Cool
Kids loved it. Wagch out for the people masquerading as wax figures! Great fun.

It was a good surprise again!I picked to visit this wax museum just because there was a bundle ticket (available online) for Cineaqua and Musée Grévin with a rather attractive discount, and the young one on the journey with us had been so determined to visit the Aquarium, like in many other cities.So, it sounds like an add-on, right? But then we were thrilled, not once, but many times throughout the visit. It was nice to get to know a little more about French history, in a more leisurely, less conventional and boring way. Even the youngest one in our group enjoyed it so much and absorbed quite a lot about French history that way!There was even a big Little Prince statue which was such a highlight for me!There were also many superstars, posed in different scenes for us to photo with. It was a mix of French and international figures, so no one shall get bored.Unfortunately, due to the Metro delay, we had only nearly two hours to visit this museum, which was far from enough! I would love to take more photos, read more about the production of all those amazing wax statues in details, etc. So, I may visit it again next time!😉
It would be more magnifying in my point of view to have statue of world 1989 noble peace prize winner H H The 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet👍! Over all I just love visiting !Its amazing!
Totally blew me away with the light show. The wax works were cool some were a bit dodgy looking mind. Good green screen stuff to play with and have snaps with celebs
