‘Jaipur Wax Museum’
Jaipur Wax Museum strategically
sited in the premises of Fort Nahargarh, which stands at the highest edge of
the legendary city, Jaipur, is a unique tourist destination. It has been
crafted with an idea of giving people of the pink city and the Indian and
International travelers a new place that holds the history, cinema, and sports
celebrities, literature, art & culture and royal grandeur under one roof.
The museum is the brain child of Mr. Anoop Srivastava of Entertainment 7
Ventures Pvt. Ltd. who laid the intellectual foundation for this project with
the Pink City Film Festival in 2006. A lifelike wax sculpture of the legendary
Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan was unveiled at this event. Encouraged by the
response and armed with the dream of creating a one-of-its-kind museum, Mr.
Srivastava teamed with several other like-minded people including sculptor
Susanta Ray. A skilled team of technicians, designers etc. restored the fort
and the interiors were adapted to create an attraction that would add yet
another crown jewel to Rajasthan Tourism. Several days of ingenious
restoration, 32 wax exhibits – each installed with a unique set and a
skillfully polished fortress later, the museum is here to enthrall its visitors.
