Madame Tussauds Washington D.C., Wax museum in Penn Quarter, Washington DC, United States
Madame Tussauds Washington D.C. was a wax museum in Penn Quarter that displayed more than 50 lifelike figures of presidents, celebrities, and historical personalities. The collection spread across several themed rooms and let visitors pose for photos alongside their favorite figures.
The museum opened in October 2007 as the twelfth Madame Tussauds location worldwide, bringing the brand's expansion into North America. It closed its doors in March 2020 after more than a decade of continuous operation.
The Presidential Gallery presented wax models of every United States president, from George Washington through modern times, reflecting American political heritage.
The museum was located near Metro Center and Gallery Place stations, making it easy to reach by public transportation. Visitors should expect longer wait times, especially on weekends and during peak tourist seasons.
A dedicated section featured Civil Rights leaders including Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks presented in detailed historical scenes. This display allowed visitors to engage with pivotal moments in American history through a different lens.
