63 Wax Museum

63 Wax Museum

Do you want to get up close with world-famous celebrities? Want to shake hands with your favorite stars? Then 63 Wax Museum can help make your dream come true, allowing you to get as close as possible to the world’s elite. The UK has the world-renowned Madame Tussauds, and Korea has the globally acclaimed 63 Wax Museum.

Located inside Seoul’s 63 Building, 63 Wax Museum opened in 2008 and is one of the building’s major highlights. The museum displays life-sized wax figures of celebrities from Korea and around the world, including Schubert, Beethoven, Picasso, Van Gogh, James Dean, the vampire Dracula, Marilyn Monroe, Bae Yong-joon, Dae Jang Geum, Lee Byung-hun, and even characters from "The Last Supper." Each wax figure embodies the dedication of the artists. Details such as pores, wrinkles, eyelashes, and moles are clearly visible—the figures are incredibly lifelike, right down to the realistic pupils. Inside the museum, visitors and wax figures blend together so seamlessly that it’s hard to tell who’s real and who’s not.

The most fun part is that visitors can freely take photos with these “celebrities.” At the table of Jesus and his twelve disciples, a “13th disciple” seat is specially reserved, and costumes and props are provided to enhance photo opportunities.
