COVID-19 Pandemic: Delhi's Madame Tussauds to reopen from April 2022

Though the Madame Tussauds' wax museum in Delhi's Connaught Place is closed for the last one year, it will once again be opened for the public at a new place in the national Capital in April 2022. The company running it has decided to give special discounts to frontline workers and those who have been vaccinated.

London's famous Madame Tussauds is run by a company called Merlin Entertainments India Private Limited. The renowned wax museum will be opened at a new venue in one of the top malls in Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR). All the formalities regarding the new place have been completed, though some issues are yet to be resolved.

Madame Tussauds was closed in March 2020 due to the global Covid-19 pandemic, after which the process of finding a new place for it had started from December



2020.

"To look after the wax statues, we have a special team of makeup artistes, studio stylists, technicians and hairstylists. Every week our special team examines the statues closely and have kept them at a safe place in Delhi."

Before the reopening of Madame Tussauds, the company considered all aspects keeping in view the coronavirus pandemic, including how many vaccinations have been done so far, how many more vaccinations may take place in urban-rural areas in the coming months. All these aspects were taken into consideration.

The company has also decided to reopen the wax museum in April next year keeping in mind the school timings of children because January, February and March are the months for holding examinations due to which less children are likely to pay a visit.
