Louis Tussaud's Wax Museum in Copenhagen,
Denmark, will close permanently Aug. 31.
Located in the Hans
Christian Andersen Castle, adjacent to and owned by Tivoli Gardens,
the wax museum attracted nearly 10 million people during the last
33 years.
Most of the
200-plus wax figures will be redeployed to other Ripley
Entertainment attractions worldwide.
The closure will
not affect the operations of two remaining Ripley Entertainment,
Danish-franchised attractions in Copenhagen: Ripley's Believe It or
Not! or the Guinness World Records Museum, both in
Copenhagen.
