Wax Museum Dublin

I went to Dublin a couple of days ago again- for the second time in two months, which is a lot for me since I live a 3 hours drive away :C Anyway, me and my sister went for some retail therapy and distractions from the quiet small town life to Ireland's capital, and it was one of the most memorable Dublin trips yet.

We spent around 5 hours on the train in total, visited around 40 shops, I tried on 2 dresses I fell in love with immediately, took 3 Luas'es, walked through around 5 huuge streets, saw 7 street performers, and met the one and only Leanne Woodfull in Urban Outfitters- however no picture, because we were in the shop and not allowed to take photographs, nevertheless she is one of the most loveliest and friendly people I've ever met. In the midst of this craziness, we made enough time to go to Dublin's own Wax Museum- a place we both had been meaning to go to for ages, but never actually went.

In a moment of spontaneous decisions, because that's how hardcore we are haha, we put aside an hour to visit the Wax Museum, and only ended up paying 20e, because we both got discounts.

Turns out, our rushed decisions weren't bad ones- we had a mint time, as I like to say. The museum is just off Dame street in Temple Bar, and has 3 floors full of different rooms. It includes themes of History, Science, Music, Fairytale and even has 2 chambers of Horror- something for the not easily scared, but brilliant in every way.

It's unbelievable how lifelike the human wax figures actually are- they're all a little bigger than the usual human size, but the way they're sculpted, polished and painted is really skillful and creative. Anyway, enough of me going on and here is the pictures I took- I took photos of more or less everything, so you might need a cup of tea to get you through this blog post! Enjoy!













Me and my good friend Paddy ahaha






Imagine how long it must have taken them do paint this..













This is what I do nowdays








Yes, I like detail shots okay















Went to Dublin, got bit by Dracula..whilst a crowd of American tourists were watching me squeal..just another ordinary day I suppose..
