    The visit to the museum was our spontaneous idea and it was fun. We bought the tickets at the ticket office without a queue. More or less well-known personalities from culture, science, politics, history are well-done.

    A wonderful place in Barcelona. I bought the tickets from the counter on the street at the Rambla, 18 euros with a discount. I visited the location in 50 minutes, I think. It has so many wax figures representing various personalities. I liked the way you are introduced to the experience, watch a 2-minute clip at the beginning with a little history of the museum and then the "elevator ride" that seems so real. Great experience, I recommend.
