Museo delle Cere, Wax museum in Piazza dei Santi Apostoli, Rome, Italy
The Museo delle Cere presents 250 life-sized wax figures of historical figures, celebrities, and world leaders across multiple themed exhibition rooms.
Fernando Canini established the museum in 1958, drawing inspiration from London's Madame Tussauds and Paris's Grevin to create Italy's first wax figure collection.
The museum displays representations of Italian personalities, from Renaissance artists like Michelangelo to modern performers like Luciano Pavarotti and Andrea Bocelli.
Located at Piazza dei Santi Apostoli 68/A, the museum operates daily from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM with standard admission at €9.50.
Visitors can observe the waxwork laboratory where artisans demonstrate the techniques used to create these detailed figures of historical and contemporary personalities.
