This wax museum was first established by wax sculptor Marie Tussaud in 1835. Tussaud learned to sculpt from her employer, Dr. Philippe Curtius, a physician skilled in wax modeling. When Curtius died in 1794, he left his collection of waxworks to Marie, who set up a permanent exhibition on the famed Baker Street in London. Today, the museum has branches in London, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Las Vegas, and New York City. What is the Chamber of Horrors, and what did it originally include?
