Welcome to Gold Coast Wax Museum HIGHLIGHTS
The Gold Coast Wax ( 蜡像 ) Museum is one of the Gold Coast’s longest running attractions. It’s a
collection of famous fi gures. It’s Australia’s largest museum of its kind, featuring more than 110 life-
size wax fi gure copies of British and Australian history.
The Wax Museum is visited by many thousands of people each year who are shocked at the
amazing realism of the life-size fi gures in authentic ( 可 信 的 ) costumes. This is your invitation to
wander through at your leisure and meet many important and famous people’s fi gures on Queensland’s
Gold Coast.
Come face to face with such celebrities as Michael Jackson, past President Obama, past President
John F. Kennedy, King Hussein, members of the Royal Family, and many others whose lives have all
left an indelible ( 擦不掉的 ) mark on our world. Information cards are located alongside each fi gure.
The Gold Coast Wax Museum contains figures which have been made by leading local and
overseas sculptors to international standards, equal in quality to the world’s best, as seen in the United
Kingdom, and the U.S.A. The detail in the fi gures is amazing—and includes hair applied one strand at
a time, requiring many working hours for one hand, and the eyes are so real that they seem to follow
the viewer around.
