Louis Tussaud

Louis Tussaud was the great-grandson of madame Marie Tussaud. He created a waxwork museum (similar to that of Madame Tussaud's) in Blackpool, Lancashire. There are also Louis Tussaud wax museums in Copenhagen, Denmark (Closed in 2007), Niagara Falls, Canada, San Antonio, Texas, Grand Prairie, Texas, Bangalore, India and Hot Springs, Arkansas. Other than the Tussaud name, Louis Tussaud's is not connected to the Madame Tussaud's Waxwork Museums.
