Likeness is no coincidence. These are works of art.
The Panoptikum is the oldest wax museum in Germany, looking back on more than 130 years of history displaying historical wax figures, artists and politicians, waxworks of celebrities and megastars as well as athletes and popular contemporaries.
Visit St. Pauli and come face to face with some reallife, well, almost real-life characters. In total there are over 120 wax ’inhabitants’ exhibited at the Panoptikum. Taking of photographs is not only allowed, it is desired! So, don’t forget to bring your camera or smartphone to get a picture with actress Angelina Jolie, Queen Elizabeth II., German chancellor Angela Merkel or empress Sisi.
An audio-guide is available in English and German, providing background information, music and anecdotes about the lifelike wax figures you walk past. A visit of the Panoptikum is suitable for all ages and very recommendable for families. Experience the fascination between wax and reality!
