Wax Wonders: Unveiling India's First Wax Museum

In the realm of India's wax museums, both grand and modest, one stands out as a pioneer in its league. Enter the enchanting world of Mother's Wax Museum (MWM), nestled in the heart of New Town, Kolkata. Established in November 2014, MWM proudly holds the title of India's first full-fledged wax museum, inspired by the iconic Madame Tussauds.



Named in honor of the beloved Mother Teresa, this museum began its journey with a modest collection of 19 wax statues. However, with each passing day, it has bloomed into a treasure trove, now boasting over 100 lifelike sculptures. What sets MWM apart is its unwavering commitment to realism—each statue meticulously crafted to mirror its real-life counterpart.


Among the diverse array of personalities immortalized in wax, MWM showcases a distinctive collection of Bengal's own luminaries. From the stalwarts of India's freedom movement like Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, to the revered poets and philosophers of Bengal such as Rabindranath Tagore, the museum paints a vivid portrait of history and culture.



Delve deeper, and you'll encounter the spiritual luminaries of Bengal, from the revered Ramakrishna Paramahansa to the dynamic Swami Vivekananda. The gentle gaze of Mother Teresa herself graces the halls, alongside the echoes of Bengal's melodious voices—singers and musicians immortalized in wax.



But the museum's allure doesn't stop there. Step into the realm of entertainment with statues of Bollywood's iconic figures like Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan. Marvel at the international stars brought to life, from the heroic Super Man to the mesmerizing Avatar, and the whimsical Mr. Bean.



MWM beckons as a must-visit destination in the vibrant city of Kolkata, offering a captivating journey through history, culture, and entertainment. Lose yourself in the uncanny realism of its statues, each whispering tales of greatness and charm.



A visit to Mother's Wax Museum promises an unforgettable experience, a glimpse into the lives of legends frozen in time, awaiting your admiration.

Don't miss the chance to immerse yourself in this extraordinary world of artistry and wonder.

Happy travelling.
