A city of palaces and forts, with historical monuments and gardens that attest to the splendor of Rajput kings, Jaipur Tourism is the gateway to India’s royal heritage. Admittedly, Jaipur is not a leader in wax museums, unlike most cities in the western world; however, after visiting the usual tourist attractions in the city, the wax museum is like a breath of fresh air for every tourist. It features some of the most beautiful wax and silicone statues of great personalities to whom we all admire and respect. The Jaipur Wax Museum is the first wax museum in the world housed in a heritage site. So the next time you visit Jaipur or Nahargarh Fort on your Jaipur Tour Packages, you’ll know that there’s more to it than just the panoramic view of the city.
The History of Jaipur Wax Museum
Located in the premises of Fort, Nahargarh, Jaipur Wax Museum was established with the idea of giving Jaipur locals and travelers from around the world something unique to see. This museum is home to brilliant statues of figures who have held important places in the history of film, art, literature, sports and royalty.
The beautifully carved statues of Susanta Ray are displayed in the ‘Hall of Icons’ and ‘Royal Darbar’ sections of the fort. Each wax statue in the Jaipur Wax Museum has been given a decor that completes the story of this legend.
