Marie Tussaud was a renowned French wax-modeling artist, the creator of London's famed 'Madam Tussauds wax museum,' and one of the nineteenth century's most successful professional women. She learned wax-modeling from a physician for whom her mother worked as a domestic after a tough upbringing. Voltaire and Rousseau were the first wax figures she created. During her childhood, she witnessed the heinous horrors of the 'French Revolution.' Madam Tussaud passed away peacefully in her sleep on April 16, 1850, at the age of 88. Her sons and grandchildren carried on the wax-work exhibits. The museum was relocated to a larger location on Marylebone Road in 1884. It was damaged by fire in 1925, but it was restored.
