When tourists step into a wax museum, they usually expect lifelike figures that capture their favorite celebrities and historical figures in stunning detail.
However, visitors to a Polish museum got a completely different experience—one filled with uncontrollable laughter.
British tourists visiting the Polonia Wax Museum in Krakow were left in disbelief at the rather unusual renditions of famous British royals, calling them nothing short of “hysterical.”
Royals Like You’ve Never Seen Before
Samantha and her girlfriend Ellie shared their comical visit on TikTok, taking viewers through the museum’s attempt at recreating the late Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, and the Prince and Princess of Wales.
The wax figures were so far from accurate that the couple couldn’t contain their giggles.
The Queen’s waxwork, in particular, featured an unflattering hairline that left them speechless.
As they moved on to the statues of Prince William and Kate Middleton, the amusement only intensified.
Kate, famously known for her deep brunette locks, was inexplicably given blonde hair and an exaggerated set of oversized teeth.
“Been to Turkey?” the duo joked, poking fun at the unrealistic features.
Meanwhile, William’s figure didn’t fare any better, with an odd ginger hairdo and a set of teeth that seemed too large for his face.
“Doesn’t look a full shilling,” they laughed, as TikTok viewers flooded the comments with their own reactions.
More Than Just Royals—Unexpected Faces Appear
The surprises didn’t stop there.
The museum also features wax figures of famous personalities such as Bruce Lee, Marilyn Monroe, and Elvis Presley.
However, the craftsmanship of these sculptures left visitors equally puzzled.
Many in the comment section admitted they were “screaming” with laughter at the bizarre collection.
Despite the unusual representations, the museum only charges around £11 for entry, making it an affordable source of entertainment for visitors to Krakow.
Social Media Can’t Get Enough
One TikTok user hilariously pointed out that the Queen’s wax figure bore a strange resemblance to British comedian and actor David Walliams.
“Is it just me who thought the Queen looked like David Walliams?” they asked, with others quickly agreeing.
Another person excitedly added, “Going to Krakow in March—this is now top of my list!”
Many others described the wax museum as one of the funniest places they had ever visited.
The Museum’s Reputation and What to Expect
The Polonia Wax Museum is well-known in Krakow for its eccentric displays, offering wax figures of politicians, clergy, athletes, and actors.
According to the museum, these sculptures are “carefully crafted to capture the smallest details”—though visitors might argue otherwise.
The attraction currently holds a three-star rating on TripAdvisor, with mixed reviews from guests.
Some describe it as a fun and quirky experience, while others admit that the figures are so bad, they’re actually good.
“Some good, some bad—but a must-do, fun place to visit,” one review states.
Others suggest the museum is even better after a few drinks, making it a great stop after exploring Krakow’s nightlife.
With additional attractions such as a Hall of Mirrors and a mirrored bubble room, the museum offers more than just wax figures for those seeking a unique experience.
Another Waxwork Fail in Poland Sparks Online Frenzy
The amusement doesn’t stop in Krakow—another Polish museum made headlines recently for its questionable wax figure of English football legend Wayne Rooney.
Displayed at the Tower of Secrets Wax Museum in Gdansk, the statue left visitors scratching their heads.
When a fan shared a photo of the Rooney waxwork on Reddit, it quickly went viral.
The figure, dressed in a red Adidas windbreaker, appeared far from the footballer’s actual likeness.
With a much thinner frame, balding patches of hair, and pasty skin, the statue drew comparisons to everything from Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to puppets from the classic TV show Thunderbirds.
More than 1,000 amused commenters chimed in, with some even comparing the waxwork to characters from Star Trek.
Though unintentionally comical, these wax museums have undoubtedly provided visitors with a unique and unforgettable experience.
A Must-See for All the Wrong Reasons
While these wax figures might not be the most accurate representations of famous personalities, they have certainly become a must-visit attraction for those who love a good laugh.
Whether it’s the Polonia Wax Museum in Krakow or the Tower of Secrets Wax Museum in Gdansk, these exhibits prove that sometimes, the best tourist experiences come from the most unexpected places.
