An entertaining museum in Old Goa featuring life-sized wax statues of famous Indian and international personalities, ideal for a family-friendly outing.
The Wax World Museum, located in the historic area of Old Goa, offers a different kind of experience compared to the region's typical beaches and churches. This indoor attraction showcases a collection of over 30 life-sized wax statues of prominent Indian and international personalities. As you walk through the galleries, you'll see figures ranging from Bollywood stars and national leaders like Mahatma Gandhi to religious icons, most notably a detailed recreation of Leonardo da Vinci's 'The Last Supper'. The museum provides a light-hearted and interactive outing, particularly suitable for families with children. Each statue is set against a simple backdrop relevant to the personality it represents. While not on the scale of larger international wax museums, it presents a unique opportunity for photos and a fun break from sightseeing, especially on a hot or rainy day. The figures are handcrafted, and the museum gives visitors a chance to see famous individuals up close in a unique art form.
