Located in the heart of Dam Square, Madame Tussauds Amsterdam is one of the city’s most popular attractions. This interactive wax museum offers a chance to get up close to incredibly realistic figures of global icons, from political leaders to Hollywood stars and legendary musicians.
Snap a Selfie With the Stars
At Madame Tussauds, visitors can strike a pose with lifelike figures of:
- World leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Barack Obama, and Angela Merkel
- Hollywood celebrities such as Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

The Largest Animatronic Wax Figure in the World
One of the museum’s most impressive highlights is Claas Janszoon, the world’s largest animatronic wax figure, standing an impressive 5 meters tall. This larger-than-life Dutch seafarer represents the maritime strength of the Netherlands during the Golden Age and showcases state-of-the-art movement and sound features.
