Odesa, Odesa Oblast, Ukraine
Good evening friends!
Today we will visit an interesting place. There is a Museum of wax figures in Odessa. It is located on the seaside Boulevard. Wax figures are very similar to living people, some of them were even scary to come close. There was a strange feeling, it seemed that now the figure will turn his head and possibly grab your hand.
Michel Rivier is a Frenchman who lived in the XX century. Suffered from gigantism.
American Republican politician, 43rd President of the United States in 2001-2009, Governor of Texas from 1995 to 2000. The son of 41st U.S. President George H. W. Bush, also known as George Bush Jr.
Christopher Columbus. Spanish Navigator in 1492, who discovered America for Europeans.
Jacques-Yves Cousteau (1910 - 1997). French Explorer Of the world ocean, photographer, Director, inventor.
These famous personalities are made of very expensive material, as told us the woman who sold tickets for a tour of the Museum, the cost of one such figure exceeds $ 2,000. Yes, certainly an impressive amount, especially for a normal exhibit. But as it turned out, that eyes, her teeth and hair have wax "people" real prostheses, which are used in medicine.
The first lady of the United States from 1961 to 1963. One of the most popular women of her time, a trendsetter of fashion, beauty and elegance in America and Europe.
Saddam Hussein. Iraqi statesman and politician, President of Iraq, Prime Minister.
Joseph Stalin. Soviet statesman,a Russian revolutionary, Soviet politician, statesman, military and party leader.
Yasser Arafat. The President of the Palestinian national authority from 1993, leader.
And how much human labor is invested in the creation of such a doll. After all, all wax figures have the same parameters of the person of the real person. Namely, the growth of the weight and appearance of a certain person in a certain period of time of his life.
Osama bin Laden
Emir (1957 - 2011). Founder and first Emir of the international Islamist terrorist organization al-Qaeda».
Peter I the Great (1672 – 1725) was an outstanding statesman, Moscow Tsar from the Romanov dynasty, all – Russian Emperor since 1721, a great reformer.
Just imagine how many invested souls in the creation of such a wax man. How much hard work. There is a need of each hairs, eyelashes, eyebrows and beards to insert in the wax body on one piece.
Imagined? And I still can not believe it, although I was standing next to these figures very, very close.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy. American political, state and public figure, 35th President of the United States.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is a German writer, thinker, philosopher and naturalist, statesman and albert Einstein, German physicist - theorist, one of the founders of modern theoretical physics and winner of the Nobel prize in physics in 1921.
John Paul II. Pope, Primate of the Roman Catholic Church from October 16, 1978 to April 2, 2005, playwright, poet, teacher.
The impression of visiting the Museum of wax figures is certainly the most, like the figures and the production of several figures. But most of all I was impressed by the eyes, they were as alive, well, one to one as people.
Steffi Graf. German tennis player-the owner of the " Grand slam"
Mike Tyson. American boxer is a professional, who played in the heavy weight category; one of the most famous and recognizable boxers in the history of world Boxing.
The only negative is the dim and gloomy lighting in the room,where the figures themselves. As I did not try to make clearer pictures, as you can see I did not succeed.
Leonardo da Vinci. Italian artist and scientist, inventor, writer, musician, one of the largest representatives of the art of the high Renaissance.
David Copperfield. American illusionist and hypnotist, known for his spectacular tricks with original comments.
Already at the very exit of the Museum in the corner of the corridor, the guys and I saw a lonely standing figure, covered with a large piece of black matter. Well, the assumptions were different, but more inclined to a couple of versions.
The first is that perhaps there is a broken figure, and the second version was missanna actually a joke that probably hid Vovka Putin. How much we were surprised when at the door we were called back by the cashier-guide, who heard our conversation decided to reveal to us the secret of the black curtain.
Charles Chaplin. American and English film actor, screenwriter, composer, film Director.
Adolf Hitler. The founder and Central figure of national socialism, the founder of the totalitarian dictatorship of the Third Reich, the head of The national socialist German workers party, Reich Chancellor and Fuhrer of Germany.
Aiiiii. There really was a figure of Vladimir Putin. However, when this doll was made Vova was still only about 20 years old, very young boy. The question of why it was hidden, we were told such a time, people are different, you do not know who, what reaction will cause the figure of wax....
Here is such an interesting and informative tour we have turned out.
