Madame Tussauds San Francisco was a wax museum located in Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco in California. The attraction opened on June 26, 2014 and became the 17th Madame Tussauds museum to open worldwide. Madame Tussauds San Francisco closed on August 3, 2024 after 10 years in operation. The attraction featured wax figures of famous figures from movies, music, politics, popular culture and sport. It also celebrated “The Spirit of San Francisco” with wax figures of local artists, musicians and activists from the city's past.
History
[edit]In 2013, Merlin Entertainments signed a lease with the Wax Museum at Fishermans Wharf to transform the venue into both the Madame Tussauds wax attraction and the San Francisco Dungeon. The Wax Museum had operated for 50 years and had over 270 wax figures. The San Francisco Dungeon later closed during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown and did not reopen.[1] Merlin Entertainments closed Madame Tussauds San Francisco on August 3, 2024, ending a 60 year history of wax museums in Fisherman's Wharf. The majority of the wax figures from the San Francisco location were distributed to the 23 other Madame Tussauds locations globally.
