Episode 19: Madame Tussaud & Her Empire of Wax

from Stuff about Things: An Art History Podcast · host Lindsay Sheedy

Heads on sticks! Heads in wax! Heads in trunks! This hour-long episode is a deep dive into the life and work of Anna Maria Grosholtz... though you may call her Madame Tussaud. This episode covers it all—from little Marie’s birth in 1761 to the present-day process of making a new celebrity waxworks! Come for the wax heads, stay in spite of the bad French accent.Music credits:"Success Dream" (Hooksounds.com)"Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 in G, Movement I (Allegro), BWV 1049"Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
