A truly unique modernization of the classic "wax museum" exhibit popular around the world. Visit this site for updates.

Behind The Scenes Preview:

Below are work-in-progress sculptural studies of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. They have no hair or eyes because these models are a preliminary step in creating the final three dimensional portrait figures that are featured in the exhibit.

These preliminary models are created utilizing the most accurate information available regarding every detail, including period painted and sketched portraits, written descriptions, contemporary photography where possible, life casts and sculptural portraiture.

In the detail views below of these preliminary models, rough skin texture is added, and lighting is tested to reflect conditions in the final exhibit. These particular models are now retired, their purpose fulfilled, never to be seen again in public. State-of-the-art elastic chemical skin is cast from the models with lifelike flesh semi-transparency and tone. Unlike traditional wax, the materials will not age, wear or degrade for centuries. Hair and eyelashes are inserted and eyes are installed in the full size figure, duplicating the image and personal presence of these stars of history. Coming soon... images of the completed Lincoln and Washington, and more behind-the-scenes previews of other figures in development.
