Wax Museum, Ginseng & Amethyst shopping, Shopping at Myeongdong & Nandaemun Market & Dongdaemun shopping!!


Wax museum

The 63 Wax Museum, one of the major must-see places at 63 City, opened in 2008. Visitors can tour the Museum and take photos with wax figures of historical personages including world-renowned musicians (Schubert, Bach, and Beethoven), painters (Salvador Dali, Picasso, Van Gogh, etc.), and athletes. As many as 70 wax figures made by a famous Japanese artist are 1.5 times bigger than actual size so that they look more detailed and life-like in photos. ‘The Last Supper’ which took 3 years to complete, is one of the most popular pieces in the museum. This piece is a favorite among visitors, regardless of their nationality. Visitors are provided with costumes so that they may dress up and take photos of themselves as Jesus’ hypothetical 13th disciple. There are also wax figures of Hallyu Stars (Lee Byung-hun, Choi Ji-woo, Lee Young-ae, Bae Yong-joon) and figures of people featured on a number of banknotes as well. The museum offers visitors exciting hands-on programs, making this tour anything but a typical day at the museum.
