History
Madame Tussauds Amsterdam opened in 1971 on Kalverstraat before moving to its iconic Dam Square location in 1991. Part of the global chain founded in 1835 by wax sculptor Marie Tussaud—who learned her craft modeling heads during the French Revolution—it has evolved from static portraits to interactive celebrity playgrounds.
The Dutch branch pioneered music and DJ experiences, reflecting Amsterdam’s nightlife pulse. Regular refreshes keep figures current: new waxworks debut yearly, from K-pop stars to local heroes like Max Verstappen. Over 50 lifelike figures now span Hollywood, Bollywood, and Dutch royalty in a four-floor, 2,000 m² funhouse.
Highlights
- Snap selfies with hyper-real George Clooney, Adele, and Lady Gaga
- Record a duet with Adele or spin tracks with Martin Garrix in the DJ booth
- Read the autocue like a pro in the interactive TV studio
- Pose with Dutch royals King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima
- Paint alongside wax Van Gogh and Rembrandt in the artist corner
- Dance under disco lights with lifelike pop icons

FAQ's
How interactive are the exhibits, and can I touch the figures?
Very—touch, pose, and play! Hug Gaga, hold Clooney’s coffee, or grip Garrix’s headphones. Props are provided: microphones, paintbrushes, DJ decks. The TV studio has a working autocue; the recording booth lets you duet with Adele (your voice, her backing). Figures are roped only where needed—most are fully accessible. Staff encourage creativity; just no climbing or flash. Download the app for AR filters that make wax stars “dance” in your pics.
Are there Dutch celebrities or just international stars?
Both! Dutch pride shines with King Willem-Alexander, Queen Máxima, and DJs like Tiësto, Hardwell, and Martin Garrix. You’ll also find local legends like André Hazes and modern icons like Max Verstappen. The mix keeps it relatable—international A-listers (Beyoncé, Depp) mingle with homegrown heroes. New Dutch figures rotate yearly; check the app for current lineup.
Is it suitable for kids, and what age is best?
Yes—kids love the music and TV zones. Under 3 enter free; ages 3–15 pay reduced (€19). The DJ booth and Adele duet are hits with tweens; younger ones adore posing with Spiderman or Disney princesses (rotating). Some figures are scary-real (zombie exhibits during Halloween), but nothing graphic. Best for ages 6+ to enjoy interactions. Strollers fit elevators; baby changing on ground floor.
Can I visit in the evening, and is it less crowded?
Absolutely—evenings (after 5 PM) are golden. School groups clear out, lights dim for a clubbier vibe, and lines vanish. The DJ booth feels like a real gig under neon. Open till 8 PM daily; last entry 7 PM. Friday/Saturday nights have a slight party buzz. Arrive 6:30–7 PM for near-empty rooms and perfect golden-hour Dam Square pics outside.
How does the photo system work, and are prints extra?
Staff snap pro photos at key spots (royals, DJ booth); scan your wristband to view on screens. Download digitals free via the Madame Tussauds app (unlimited). Physical prints start at €15 (keyring, magnet, framed). Selfies are unlimited—use your phone. Green screens add fun backgrounds (Hollywood sign, Amsterdam canal). No obligation to buy; digitals make sharing instant.
