The National Presidential Wax Museum, Art museum in Keystone, United States.
The National Presidential Wax Museum features over 100 life-sized wax sculptures depicting every American president from George Washington to the present day.
The museum opened in 1963 under founder John D. Keene, who established this collection to document American presidential history through detailed wax representations.
Each presidential figure stands in meticulously recreated historical settings, such as the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the Yalta Conference.
The museum operates daily from 8:30 AM to 5 PM on weekdays and until 8 PM on weekends, with self-guided audio tours available for all visitors.
Katherine Stubergh, the museum's primary artist, created precise wax replicas using period-accurate clothing and detailed facial features for historical authenticity.
