"They seem alive!" 38 exhibits featuring more than 100 wax figures, a creation of the great-great-granddaughter of the more famous wax-woman Madame Tussaud. Ascend the "Stairway to the Stars" and see wax celebrities you might even recognize. There's a tribute to 9/11 and Princess Di, a "World of the Mighty" and a "World of Make Believe," reverent Christian tableaus and scenes of "historically accurate" medieval torture. The figures may not look exactly like who they're supposed to, but you'll have to wait for a chance encounter with the real Richard Nixon or Mae West to be sure -- oh, wait, never mind.
