Overview
Located right in the heart of Amsterdam’s Dam Square, Madame Tussauds Amsterdam is where fantasy meets reality. It’s more than a wax museum — it’s a full-on, interactive experience where you can meet your idols face to face, strike a pose on stage, or even join world leaders for a photo op.
Opened in 1971, it was the first Madame Tussauds branch outside the UK, and it remains one of Amsterdam’s most popular family attractions. From Hollywood stars and pop icons to historic figures and superheroes, every sculpture is crafted with extraordinary precision — capturing not just the look but the personality of each figure.
Whether you want to perform with Ariana Grande, stand alongside King Willem-Alexander, or challenge Lionel Messito a football showdown, Madame Tussauds offers fun for visitors of all ages.
