How The Figures are Made at Pigeon Forge Hollywood Wax Museum

Though it may seem like a Hollywood heartthrob is standing right next to you, each of the creations at this wax museum is the product of 3 months of hard work by professional wax figure artist.

First, a sculptor  creates a bust of the celebrity working from photographs and precise measurements. Then, a mold is created using this bust and a wax mixture is carefully poured into the mold to ensure that no air bubbles form. After the mold hardens, tiny details are added to the wax head to create unique expressions. This process is repeated to create the entire figure. Once the figure is complete, carefully mixed paint is used to create skin tone, glass eyes and porcelain teeth are added, and each hair is carefully inserted using a special needle. A tailor and prop master create costumes and find props to complete a replica of classic movie scene.

So, while you're snapping your pictures next to Captain Jack Sparrow, remember that it's not just a wax statue - it's a piece of art created by a group of talented designers at Pigeon Forge Hollywood Wax Museum.
