The Musée Grévin Montreal is a waxwork museum in Montreal located in Montreal Eaton Centre in Ville-Marie, Montreal, Canada. It is open daily; an admission fee is charged.

History

On April 17, 2013, Musée Grévin's parent company, Compagnie des Alpes, opened the museum's first property outside France, Grévin Montréal, at the Montreal Eaton Centre in Montreal, Canada. Similar in scope to the original Paris location, Grévin Montréal features wax adaptations of people relevant to Canadian and Québécois history and culture.[1]

The next location of Compagnie des Alpes, Musée Grévin Prague is open since the 1st May 2014.[2]

Attractions

The Musée Grévin now contains some 120 characters[3] arranged in scenes from the history of Canada from Jacques Cartier[4] and modern life, movie stars and international figures such as Elizabeth II, Scarlett Johansson, Albert Einstein, Lady Gaga, Mahatma Gandhi, Donald Sutherland, Leonardo DiCaprio or Naomi Campbell.

New wax characters will be regularly added to the Museum.
