This Wax Museum Is Being Titled The Worst Wax Museum In The World And The Celebs There Are Unrecognizable
No one can argue that wax models are fun. Who wouldn’t like a selfie with the life-like Queen Beyoncé or ex-President Barack Obama? But there’s one wax museum that beats its own purpose—the waxworks are such a far cry from the truth, you may need a second (and a third) guess.
Louis Tussaud's House of Wax in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk has achieved cult status with tourists flocking from all over the world to see the infamous monstrosities. From Victoria Beckham looking like a full-blown Karen waiting to see a manager, to Prince Charles ready to hit a drag lip-sync battle, the misshapen models give a whole new perspective on what the waxwork could be. It could be anything. So let's have a look at some of the worst works down below.

Not only decent, but ever-so-slightly lifelike. Look at its right eye.

it looks like a cross between Mr Bean and Patrick Swayze and it's not a pretty picture
The owners, Jane and Peter Hayes, closed the attraction in October 2012 after running it for half a century. The pieces were sold to a secret Czech collector who surely has unique taste. Jane, 83, told Mirror that “all the models and machines and frames were sold in one go.” But the woman doesn’t know who the chap was.
Peter, who ran the museum for 57 years, admitted in 2008 that the models became so old they were no longer lifelike. According to Dailymail, each figure cost around $1,245 to make. The auction estimated that the whole collection was worth up to $14,943, but it’s not clear for how much it was sold to the buyer.

Don't know why that was down voted, he really does look like he had a minute or two too long in the microwave.

Named after the great-grandson of Madame Tussaud, the museum was located on Regent Road. According to the BBC, it employed three full-time staff members in addition to the Hayeses. People on Trip Advisor expressed their disappointment with the museum’s closure. “It will be sorely missed,” said one user. The other one called it a “sad loss” and said that “Yarmouth will never be the same...”

Looking at the color of his face and neck it seems like he adviced the president of the USA on make-up.

Shouldn't we finish painting the rest of the figure? No unscrew the bulb over it. Don't want it to look better than the quality work we have all around it. Dark & menacing is good for me

With most of these you can see a very tiny similarity at least in some features/hairstyle but this one is insanely bad

I was going to say Toddler Charlotte due to the height, but the face does read an adult. So who knows. Except for the person who did the attempt.

It's sad. Someone tried their very best at these, with the limited resources they had, and was probably pretty proud of how they turned out and then they read the comments... My heart aches for them.

I thought that too, but tbh there shouulb be someone on the way to decide if they're okay for the museum or not.

They look like they bought some mannequins on discount and just tried to make them look like celebrities by adding wax, makeup and hair.
