Before creation of Kyiv Museum of Wax Figures its founders familiarized with expositions of famous Madame Tussaud museum branches in Amsterdam, Moscow and Saint Petersburg. It appeared a formidable challenge to create a museum of that kind in Ukraine, as there were no experienced specialists in waxwork and decorative works at the time. As a result, it took the creators three years to arrange the primary collection of 20 figures and to open the museum on the 12th January of 2000. Nowadays the exposition contains over 60 figures and is constantly growing. Kyiv Museum of Wax Figures can bravely be called one of the best if compared with the European analogues.
