Madame Tussauds San Francisco

Madame Tussauds San Francisco was a wax museum located at Fisherman's Wharf that displayed lifelike figures of celebrities, politicians, athletes, and cultural icons. The exhibition was organized into themed sections showcasing different areas of public life and entertainment.

The museum opened in 2014 as the seventeenth location of the international wax museum brand founded by Marie Tussaud in London. It closed in 2024, with its collection distributed to other Madame Tussauds museums around the world.

The collection featured figures of San Francisco artists, musicians, and activists who shaped the city's cultural identity. Visitors could encounter representations of people who influenced local society and artistic movements.

Visitors could spend several hours walking through the different exhibition sections and taking photos with the figures. The Fisherman's Wharf location was easy to access and near other tourist attractions.

The collection included more than 270 wax figures, featuring representations of Abraham Lincoln, Bruce Lee, Carlos Santana, and Harvey Milk. Visitors could pose directly next to these well-known individuals and create interactive photos, transforming the experience into hands-on engagement.
