Synopsis
Madame Tussauds is a major global entertainment destination with a unique display of celebrity wax figures and a history of over 250 years. At Madam Tussauds, visitors can enjoy the experience as if they are actually meeting face to face with almost life-like celebrities.
Madame Tussauds Tokyo initially opened in 2013.
However, a new destination showing wax figures is not a familiar concept for Japanese people compared to European people, who are more aware of the history of wax figures.
As a result, the Madame Tussauds attraction has suffered from declining attendance for the number of visitors.
The objective of this project is to evolve the experience at Madame Tussauds further by creating the best celebrity experience that visitors will ever have.
By doing this, we can also strengthen the brand value of Madame Tussauds, which includes to provide surprise and joy by real-time interaction with celebrities.
