And that my friends is the Museo de Cera. It is indeed a wax museum, how cool is that. You will be amazed to see which figures are even there.

Michael Jackson, Madonna, Motley Crew and John Lennon are of the few you will come across in the museum. These celebrities do not appear to be "normal." The museum has put a funny twist to the wax figures. Be sure to check out this museum while in town.
