Définition

  • Well before Madame Tussaud's artistic brilliance came onto the London art scene in the late 1700s, societies used waxworks to immortalize their culture and the deceased. Historians trace the earliest forms of wax figures to around 3000 B.C.E., in what is now modern India. [Source: Encyclopedia of Death and the Human Experience; Wax Museums]
