Entrance to the Museu de Cera

Museu de Cera

La Rambla & Barri Gòtic


Inside this late-19th-century building you can wander about looking at Frankenstein, Che Guevara, Lady Diana and lots of Spanish figures you probably won't recognise. It's unintentionally funny, with a price tag that's steep for often poorly executed representations, although small children are generally enthusiastic.
