Royal London Wax Museum

Royal London Wax Museum

Lanewood Galleries Ltd., 470 Belleville Street, Victoria, British Columbia
The "World of Wax" originally opened in 1961 in a street level location of the Crystal Garden displaying about ninety figures. In April of 1971, Canada's 13th Prime Minister, the Right Honourable John George Diefenbaker, officiated at the museum's grand re-opening.

Today the Royal London Wax Museum has an inventory of more than 300 wax figures that have been sculpted in England, the most recent of which is "The woman of the Century". Decades of enhancements have gone well beyond the simple accumulation of wax figures. The multi-faceted "World of Wax" experience has been magnified not only through audio-visual technologies, but also through complementing displays such as the Crown Jewels Theatre, the World War I Field Surgical Hospital Kit, the thousand year old piece of cedar, replica sword of Genghis Khan, and original opera chairs crafted in 1987 for the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Open all week, 9:00am to 7:30pm.
