Madame Tussauds Singapore
Did you know that Madame Tussauds Singapore is housed in the same building that used to house the old Sentosa Wax Museum way back in the 1980s? However, this Sentosa attraction offers a lot more glitz and glamour, as well as a dose of history in the form of the Images of Singapore section.
When you approach the Madame Tussauds Singapore building, you won’t be able to help but notice the regal colonial facade of the building. That is because it was once used by by British army and served several purposes, including that of hospital and a regimental headquarters.
In 1983, the original wax museum on Sentosa opened and was known as the Pioneers of Singapore & Surrender Chambers museum. The museum was renamed Images of Singapore in 1994 and given a makeover in 2005.
The current Madame Tussauds Singapore opened to the public on 25 October 2014. Nowadays, as you approach the building, you will be greeted by pictures of celebrities.
After passing through the reception, it is down a corridor to head to the first of many zones within the attraction.
Ultimate Film Star Experience
The first zone is dedicated to the stars of Bollywood. You can pose with celebrities such as Karan Johar and Amitabh Bachchan as you make your way through this first zone.
There are also interactive features here, as there are throughout Madame Tussauds Singapore. For example, you can join a dance party and let loose.
Images of Singapore
This next section of the attraction provides a look back at Singapore’s history. Enter in and get taken back in time to when Singapore was known as Temasek and Stamford Raffles just arrived on the island’s shores.
The Images of Singapore section then fast forwards through Singapore’s past with the arrival of immigrants, the development of the city, the dark days of World War II and the road to independence.
This section can seem rather dark and with visuals of the wax figures and accompanying soundtrack (like in the coolies section), many may be tempted to zip past. But those who take the time to read about the various dioramas at the two-storey Images of Singapore will find it to be an informative recap of Singapore’s past.
Thrillcoaster Singapore
The Images of Singapore section ends at virtual rollercoaster. This is available at an additional fee.
Spirit of Singapore Boat Ride
The short three-minute long Spirit of Singapore Boat Ride takes you on a leisurely ride past some icons of Singapore such as the Merlion and Marina Bay Sands. Our favourite view is that of the airplane above Marina Bay Sands.
Leaders
Next, you will arrive at the Leaders zone where you will be greeted by a younger version of Singapore’s former Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. Amongst the other leaders on display include the late Queen Elizabeth II and Gandhi.
A particularly touching set of figures is that of the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew and his late wife Madam Kwa Geok Choo. This set here at Madame Tussauds Singapore captures him and his wife in a relaxed, casual and intimate moment. It is based on a photo taken back in 2008 by his niece and stand out in the room full of national and world leaders.
Sports
See how you stand against sporting figures such as Yao Ming and Tiger Woods.
One of the newer wax figures here is that of Yip Pin Xiu, a Singaporean five-time Paralympic gold champion. It was unveiled in February 2024.
Kung Fu
Next, pose beside icons like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan.
Behind the Magic
This is where you can learn about the history of Madame Tussauds. You can also get a glimpse at what goes into the making of the wax figures.
Did you know that each wax figure costs several hundreds of thousands of dollars to make and can take three to six months to create. Each wax figure is constructed using more than 200 measurements taken during a sitting with the celebrity. The wax heads alone taking up to six weeks to get right with each strand of hair (real human hair) painstakingly inserted one-by-one.
It is amazing that even with such a hefty price tag tied to each wax figure, visitors can cosy up to them in the high-touch museum.
TV & Film
TV & film is next and you can bike with ET or pretend to be having breakfast at Tiffany’s with Audrey Hepburn.
Music
Rock out with music stars through the ages at the Music zone.
Michael Jackson is bad! Plus can also find wax figures of superstars like Beyonce here.
IIFA
The glamour of Bollywood is on show at the IIFA Awards Experience section.
K-Wave
Experience K-glamour at the K-wave Zone featuring wax figures of Korean stars in an Instagrammable setting. This section opened on 28 January 2021 in response to fan requests. Here, you will find wax figures of actors Kim Woo-bin and Song Seung-heon, along with singer and actress Bae Suzy. One of the poses that visitors can strike is to help complete a “heart” with Bae Suzy.
