★★★★★2 months agoOne of best experiences from all tourist attractions this is that one that make u chill and joy atmosphere after all mainstream tourist attractions. It was nice to visit Musée Grévin and I recommend to everyone who will visit Paris soon or in future.

★★★★★6 months agoIf there is one museum in Paris that you should not miss, it’s this one! It’s a very nice journey through film, sport and politics. It was crowded and it’s on the pricy side of museum visits but well worth it. It’s about a 90 min walk through where you can take photos with all your favourite people. You can buy tickets on site but it’s def quicker to do it online.
