Once inside the museum there are historical tableaux as well as contemporary figures in wax. Apparently the waxwork of Dr Marat is sitting in the actual bath he died in! http://www.grevin-paris.com/fr/univers/le-palais-des-miragesAlisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05638747224946512770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839525549786745818.post-41771234872333279252015-04-16T11:22:23.117+01:002015-04-16T11:22:23.117+01:00I don't know that novel, but I think I might n...I don't know that novel, but I think I might need to seek it out; a trouper indeed!Catherine Curzonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763562687608837832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839525549786745818.post-20165737558545240912015-04-16T00:28:40.021+01:002015-04-16T00:28:40.021+01:00She was indeed a trouper (note spelling!) and had ...She was indeed a trouper (note spelling!) and had immense drive and talent.

And people say that art is inconsequential yet so many times in history I see its rise or demise directly in association with the circles in which artists operate. This, in so many ways, is a really magical tale and - sorry to be corny - but why isn't there a film of this? I'd watch it... I wonder if the post mortem models are still around.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12445629159912795832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839525549786745818.post-80290500888333860132013-12-02T07:20:21.398+00:002013-12-02T07:20:21.398+00:00Thank you!
