Artifact Collections
Party Hollywood Style There’s a multitude of major stars to mingle with... perform with Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Justin Bieber; cozy up in an intimate conversation with heartthrob Johnny Depp or rub elbows with other famous A- list celebrities including Justin Timberlake, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lopez, Will Smith, Selena Gomez, Penelope Cruz, Britney Spears and a host of headlining stars.
Experience all the romance, splendor and grandeur of the golden era of cinema. Along the way, you meet screen icons and Hollywood legends Johnny Grant, Charlie Chaplin, Marlene Dietrich and, of course, Marilyn Monroe looking ever-so-glamorous in her long sparkling ball gown.
Spirit of Hollywood journey continues through memorable and highly immersive screen moments of the 1950s and 1960s. You are invited to sit in a boat next to Katharine Hepburn with Humphrey Bogart nearby, recreating a scene from the African Queen. If you prefer a more arid climate, you can ride a camel with Peter O’Toole in Arabian attire from Lawrence of Arabia. Or if it’s a wintry feel they seek, guests can join James Stewart in a snowy scene from It’s A Wonderful Life. For more intimate encounters, you can sit across from Audrey Hepburn in her character’s apartment in Breakfast at Tiffany’s while “Moon River” plays softly in the background. Or feel like royalty relaxing next to Elizabeth Taylor, in her Egyptian glory, as Cleopatra reclining on a chaise lounge. Get a chance to Rock in Jail with Elvis Presley. Finally, you can travel back into One Million Years B.C. for a photo opportunity with sexy Rachel Welch or part the Red Sea with Charlton Heston
The smell of gun powder and the sounds of spurs clicking, horses neighing, and gunfights blasting alert guests to their arrival to the wild, wild, West. Saddle up with classic Western cowboys such as John Wayne in his Oscar®-winning True Grit character – Rooster J. Cogburn – as well as with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid stars, Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Join legendary gunslinger Clint Eastwood on the veranda. Don't end up in a shoot out at high noon or else your face will end up on a ‘Wanted Poster’
The atmosphere at Madame Tussauds Hollywood turns dark and sinister in our specially-themed crime area. You'll be invited for a ‘sit down’ across from The Godfather, Marlon Brando, perhaps making him an offer he can’t refuse! You will meet other famous gangsters including Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, complete with machine gun, in Brian De Palma’s classic film, Scarface. Come face to face with Hannibal Lecter. You'll also get to imagine yourself as Clarice Starling when you come face-to-face with the bone-chilling Hannibal Lecter – from The Silence of the Lambs – played masterfully by Sir Anthony Hopkins in his Oscar®-winning performance.
Capture some of the greatest movie moments from contemporary cinema in our energetic and exciting 'Modern Classics' area. You might sit down on the park bench next to Tom Hanks as he offers them chocolate while portraying his Oscar®-winning character in Forrest Gump, or they might join Eddie Murphy on the beat as the hilarious Detective Axel Foley from Beverly Hills Cop.
Meet Hollywood directors. Quentin Tarantino at Madame Tussauds Comedian Jim Carrey welcomes everyone into the themed area which hosts several A-list directors, such as Martin Scorcese and Quentin Tarantino, who demonstrate the art of filmmaking in all its magical splendor. Guests can pose with Hollywood legends including Robin Williams, Steven Spielberg, Cameron Diaz, Leonardo Di Caprio and many more who make the magic happen time and again.
The air is electric and the mood is frenetic as you make your way into our sports pavillion, home to some of the most famous athletes in the sports world. In the action Tiger Woods at Madame Tussauds Hollywood? Step onto the green and consult Tiger Woods before attempting to sink that eagle putt or take a high-flying challenge by putting your hoops skills to the test against one of the NBA's best, Los Angeles Lakers' superstar Kobe Bryant. They can also put the pedal to the metal by racing cyclist Lance Armstrong in a thrilling photo finish at the Tour de France or they can pose on a half pipe while skateboard legend Tony Hawk soars on his board overhead.
