Happy Women’s History Month!

Celebrating 40 Years and Counting


Welcome to the only museum of its kind. The National Great Blacks in Wax Museum

Since its opening, the Museum has become a prominent, nationally recognized institution. It has also evolved into a powerful compendium of wax figures. The Museum houses approximately 150 figures of people from the past, like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, and from the present, like President Barack Obama.

I’ve never understood the appeal of wax museums, but this homespun educational gem had my number the minute I walked in.
