Louis Tussaud's Plaza Wax Museum, San Antonio
Louis Tussaud conceived a wax museum, which is similar to Madame Tussaud's wax museum, but doesn't have much to do with it. Louis Tussaud's Wax Museum is part of the same company that owns Ripley's Believe it or Not! and they are featured at the same location. It is located near Alamo downtown, and is very attractive to visitors due to the remarkable wax figures, such as Jesus Christ, Jack Nicholson, Harrison Ford and many other beloved characters, found within.
