Panoptikum Hamburg

Over 120 realistic wax figures stand in themed settings across multiple exhibition spaces at the Panoptikum Museum in Hamburg.

Friedrich Hermann Faerber established Germany's first wax museum in 1879, creating a permanent exhibition space on Spielbudenplatz in St. Pauli.

The museum displays figures of German and international personalities from entertainment, politics, sports, and science, representing different periods of society.

Visitors can access the museum from Monday to Friday between 11:00 and 21:00, Saturday until midnight, and Sunday from 10:00 to 21:00.

Each wax figure requires two years of careful crafting and costs approximately 40,000 euros to create with precise detail.
