Fascination between wax and reality A selfie with pop star Adele, the
Queen and Angela Merkel? That is possible, in the Panoptikum in
Hamburg. The Panoptikum in Hamburg St. Pauli was founded in 1879,
making it the oldest Wax museum in Germany. The Faerber family has
carried on this tradition for five generations - with dedication, care
and great attention to detail. Because: Similarity to the original is
no coincidence. But true art. Visitors experience this very special
art on over 700 m� of exhibition space. The Panoptikum is a
fascinating world of wax, in which reality and fantasy merge with each
other. Currently more than 120 personalities from art and culture,
sport and politics, society and history are shown - including many
celebrities and real megastars. The best thing: The stars and starlets
are not photo-shy at all and wait patiently for photos from the
private paparazzi. Photography is in the exhibition expressly
permitted, after all, selfies with the wax figures belong to everyones
visit of the Panoptikum! In addition to current personalities such as
singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, singer Helene Fischer, US President
Donald Trump and Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie, local celebrities
such as Olivia Jones will also be present. Additionally, historical
figures such as Henry VIII, Albert Einstein and Friedrich von Schiller
are shown. A horror scene and a medical-anatomical cabinet complete
the collection. The visit to the Panopticon lasts 45 to 60 minutes. A
free audioguide provides visitors with information about the wax works
on display in German and English. Admission times Monday to Friday 10
a.m. to 8 p.m Saturday 10 a.m. ? 10 p.m Sunday 10 a.m. ? 8 p.m
