Madame Tussaud’s: Entertaining and Amazing People.

1. For more than two hundred years Madame Tussaud’s has entertained and amazed people of all ages, nationalities and from all walks of life. After all, where else can you see world leaders, movie stars, sporting heroes and other celebrities. All the historic characters have been created after attentive study of old portraits and sculptures. The costumes are recreated as accurately as possible.

2. In the 1770 Marie Grosholtz (later to become Madame Tussaud) began making her wax portrait figures. Her figures of French writer Francois Voltaire and US states-man Benjamin Franklin are on display today. During the French Revolution she was asked to make death mask of some of the prominent figures who were executed, such as Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette.

3. Madame Tussaud worked at her exhibition until her death in 1850 at the age of 89. Her sons and grandsons continued with the business, but these days her descendants are no longer directly involved. However, the spirit of Marie continues to live on, not least in the form of the figure she made herself.

4. Figures are made 2% bigger than real life because wax shrinks. The wax used for the figures is similar to candle wax. In the more thrifty past, wax figures were melted down and re-used, but this is no longer the case as the colour of the wax deteriorates when recycled. Each figure weighs about 15 kg – with 4.5 kg of wax used for the head and 1.4 kg for the hands. Over 150 precise measurements are taken to create an accurate portrait. Each hair is to be individually inserted, taking about five weeks.

5. The characters who move and speak are modeled in clay first of all, like the normal portraits, but the head is made in silicon rubber which allows movement. A spokes-person for Madame Tussaud’s says men and women like different figures. The figure most photographed by men is Naomi Campbell, and the most photographed by women is Brad Pitt. However, the attention from the public isn’t always friendly – for instance, Hitler had to be put behind a special glass screen in the Chamber of Horrors because people couldn’t stop abusing him.

Определите, является ли утверждение:
The figure of Hitler had to be put behind a glass screen because too many people couldn’t stop abusing him.
Варианты ответов:

a) ложным b) истинным
