Potter's Wax Museum, Wax museum in St. Augustine, United States.
The museum displays over 160 wax figures of famous people, including politicians, entertainers, writers, scientists, inventors, and royal families in antique costumes.
George Leonard Potter established this museum in 1948 as the first wax museum in the United States, originally known as Potter's International Hall of Fame.
The collection includes handmade ornate garments worth more than one million dollars, which enhance the appearance of historical and contemporary figures.
Visitors can observe the complete figure-making process in Potter's Studio, where artists sculpt heads in clay and perform detailed facial work.
The museum operates inside the Old Drug Store building at 31 Orange Street, which holds the title of oldest pharmacy in the United States.
