In 1881 he decided to build a museum in which his readers could meet real-size reproductions of the celebrities depicted in his newspaper.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9442\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ouverture-Grevin.jpg\" alt=\"Grand Opening Mus\u00e9e Gr\u00e9vin\" width=\"310\" height=\"437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ouverture-Grevin.jpg 310w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ouverture-Grevin-213x300.jpg 213w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A couple years later, in 1883, a famous promoter named Gabriel Thomas -known for his work on the commercial development of the Eiffel Tower- joined the team.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to him, the museum\u2019s popularity increased even more.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Concept<\/h3>\n<p>Similarly to the Madame Tussauds museums, the Mus\u00e9e Gr\u00e9vin stages extremely realistic wax figures imitating pop culture icons.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re usually movie stars, singers, well-known politicians, great athletes, or just pretty much anyone famous.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>The Gr\u00e9vin Academy<\/h3>\n<p>Members of the Gr\u00e9vin academy choose the next celebrities to be represented in the Mus\u00e9e Gr\u00e9vin.<\/p>\n<p>This academy was founded in 2001, and has since always been composed of 10 celebrities working in media. It currently includes a few popular TV hosts such as Nikos Aliagas, and some well-known radio hosts like Daniela Lumbroso or Laurent Boyer.<\/p>\n<p>The Academy is chaired by its President St\u00e9phane Bern, a French journalist, and radio and TV host since 2017.<\/p>\n<p>All these big names meet up twice a year, to elect the 4 next celebrities to have their wax figure added to the museum.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How to Visit the Mus\u00e9e Gr\u00e9vin?<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>How to Get to the Museum ?<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s quite simple to get there.

Don\u2019t bother with long and boring explanations, this is a place where you should have fun!<\/p>\n<p>Be creative, and stage some funny situations with your favorite stars. Don\u2019t forget to share your picture on social media with the #Gr\u00e9vin Paris, \u00a0your picture might just end up on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grevin-paris.com\/en\/Mygrevin\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the museum&#8217;s official website<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, if you\u2019re the curious type, you might enjoy this guided tour organized by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.musement.com\/uk\/paris\/behind-the-scenes-of-the-musee-grevin-8845\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Musement<\/a>, which takes you behind the scenes of the Museum.<\/p>\n<p>During this special visit, you\u2019ll be able to see how the wax figures are made, and discover all the secrets of those confidential workshops. These tours are only available on Saturdays and take about 1 hour and a half. On a side note, it doesn\u2019t include a visit of the Mus\u00e9e Gr\u00e9vin itself.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Can You Visit This Museum With Young Children?<\/h3>\n<p>Children are welcome in this museum, but they remain under the responsibility of their parents. Be careful to keep an eye on them so they don\u2019t touch the artwork.<\/p>\n<p>Strollers are allowed within the museum, except when the place is too crowded &#8211; in which case, you will be asked to leave it them at the front desk. Therefore, if you want to be sure you can visit the museum peacefully, we advise you to take a baby carrier rather than a stroller.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Are There Any Specific Restrictions to Enter the Museum?<\/h3>\n<p>You won\u2019t be authorized to visit the museum if you carry a big bag or any luggage with you. However, there is a cloakroom\/ luggage locker service (with a 2\u20ac fee) within the premises.<\/p>\n<p>Also good to know, small animals are allowed if they can fit in a purse.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Are There Arrangements for People With Impaired Mobility?<\/h3>\n<p>Since 2001, arrangements have been made to facilitate the access and visits for people with impaired mobility, particularly for people in wheelchairs.<\/p>\n<p>The museum is also equipped with elevators.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Inside the Museum<\/h2>\n<h3>Wax Figures<\/h3>\n<p>As the most important part of the museum, they\u2019re the first reason for the Gr\u00e9vin\u2019s initial fame.<\/p>\n<p>The museum currently includes about 200 wax figures, made to look like famous people of all kinds : historical figures, kids movie characters, actors, musicians, politicians, sportspeople, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Even with no knowledge of French pop culture, you will be able to find known faces among the statues. Use this opportunity to take your best selfie !<\/p>\n<p>Some of the most famous French celebrities represented would be the famous singer Edith Piaf, who sang \u201cLa vie en Rose\u201d, historical figures such as Leonardo Da Vinci, or even the current French President Emmanuel Macron.

This gigantic kal\u00e9idoscope works with a game of lights and mirrors, immersing you in a magical world, for a few memorable minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The show has been revamped a few times already, the last time being in 2018. Krysle Lip, an American artist, rethought the show to focus on creating a peaceful and relaxing moment for the spectators.<\/p>\n<p><em>Video made by French public TV channel France 3 Paris \u00eele-de-France. (French voice over)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Gr\u00e9vin Theatre<\/h3>\n<p>Within the Museum is a theatre where many famous French comedians started their careers. This is why their wax figures are now displayed in the Gr\u00e9vin theatre. You will be able to meet the comic duet \u201cLes Vamps\u201d, or Anne Roumanoff, one of the first super famous French female comedians to have a successful one woman show.<\/p>\n<p>But these are not the only stars to have shined on this stage. The Gr\u00e9vin theatre has welcomed many successful artists through the years, such as Charles Aznavour (singer) or Laurent Ruquier (comedian, producer and radio\/ TV host).<\/p>\n<p>Take the time to \u00a0admire the fine architecture of the theatre as well, now classified as a historical monument. All balconies are adorned with beautiful carvings with high-reliefs, while the stage curtain and the walls are covered with exquisite murals and paintings.<\/p>\n<p>The decoration in itself is a collection of artworks, made around the end of 19th century. The stage curtain was painted by Jules Ch\u00e9ret, an artist who received a gold medal at the world exposition of 1889, while the carvings on the upper circle are the work of Antoine Bourdelle, a famous sculptor.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9446\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9446\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9446\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ch\u00e9ret_Rideau_Mus\u00e9e_Gr\u00e9vin.jpg\" alt=\"Ch\u00e9ret curtains Mus\u00e9e Gr\u00e9vin\" width=\"620\" height=\"477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ch\u00e9ret_Rideau_Mus\u00e9e_Gr\u00e9vin.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ch\u00e9ret_Rideau_Mus\u00e9e_Gr\u00e9vin-475x365.jpg 475w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ch\u00e9ret_Rideau_Mus\u00e9e_Gr\u00e9vin-300x231.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9446\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credits:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Ch%C3%A9ret_Rideau_Mus%C3%A9e_Gr%C3%A9vin_10_09_2011.jpg?uselang=fr\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vassil \/ Wikimedia Commons<\/a> under <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/publicdomain\/zero\/1.0\/deed.fr\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Creative Commons CC0<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Our Restaurant Recommendations near the Mus\u00e9e Gr\u00e9vin<\/h2>\n<h3>Bouillon Chartier<\/h3>\n<p><em>7 rue du Faubourg Montmartre, 75009<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This historical brasserie -which opened in 1896- welcomes you in its original early 20th century interior.
