Svi znaju muzej Madam Tiso, a priča o njenom životu je bizarnija od horor filma: Pre javnih ličnosti, pravila je maske mrtvih vladara
Redovi pred muzejima voska danas se protežu od Londona do Tokija, ali priča o najpoznatijim figurama od voska na svetu počinje daleko od glamura i savremenog spektakla, a umesto zvezda, ovekovečeni su i mrtvi vladari i kriminalci.
