Other things to do at Barcelona's Wax Museum

In addition to the amazing real-scale wax reproductions of famous people, Barcelona's Wax Museum will surprise you in at least two other different aspects.  First of all, you can choose to attend the night shows which add further excitement to the experience.  We would point out that the location of the Museum is already quite attractive in its own right: the building is in a Neo-Classical style and is reminiscent of the mysterious setting of the stories by Edgar Allan Poe.  The night time visit that we are suggesting is called "The Curator" and can be personalized. In order to organize this, you would need to contact the Museum's administration department whose email address is: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., and they will be able to propose an itinerary which will round off the evening with a group dinner, the perfect way to let of steam and spend some time in good company.  So that you never forget how much fun it was to spend time here with your family and friends, the Museum can also offer some very special photo shots: you can pose in a disguise and impersonate famous people as you walk around Barcelona.  Wouldn't you like to be in the shoes of Leonardo da Vinci while visiting Park Güell? In our opinion, he would have been delighted to do this!

The Bosc de les Fades

The Bosc de les Fades is a really special bar which is situated inside Barcelona's Wax Museum.  Here you can enjoy a fantastic cocktail surrounded by an enchanted forest, as if you had suddenly found yourself inside an animated fairy story populated by the usual good and bad characters. 

How to get there and opening times 

Getting to Barcelona's Wax Museum is very easy.  All you have to do is to walk along La Rambla: as you travel on foot towards the sea, you will find it on the left or, if you are coming up La Rambla from the statue of Christopher Columbus towards the Plaza Catalunya, you will find it on the right.
