Entrepreneur and space exploration pioneer Elon Musk has added a new milestone to his list of achievements with the unveiling of his wax figure at Madame Tussauds New York. The figure, which showcases Musk’s signature style, will be housed in the museum’s newly designed Space Room, set to open soon. This immersive space will integrate elements from the museum’s existing Culture and Leaders’ Galleries, creating a dynamic fusion of arts, science, business, and innovation.
Musk’s wax figure is dressed in a casual yet refined outfit, featuring a white shirt, navy blue blazer, blue denim jeans, and a black belt with a silver buckle—a look that has become synonymous with the tech mogul’s public persona. Positioned as a tribute to his contributions to space exploration and technological advancement, the new figure is expected to attract fans of innovation, culture, and space science alike.
“Elon Musk has forever changed the landscape of space exploration and technology, so it’s only fitting that he be immortalized in our new Space Room,” said Tiago Mogadouro, General Manager of Madame Tussauds New York. “We welcome space and history enthusiasts to explore this exhibit, where they can journey through time and space, standing alongside astronauts and other cultural pioneers.”
A Unique Celebration of Exploration
The unveiling of Musk’s figure took place at The Explorers Club in Manhattan, a prestigious venue known for its association with exploration and innovation. The private event, hosted by Richard Garriott, a former astronaut and president of The Explorers Club, brought together industry professionals to celebrate the spirit of discovery. Garriott shared stories of exploration and innovation, recounting the history of the club’s members and displaying notable artifacts.
Following the tour, Musk’s wax figure was revealed in The Clark Room, a space filled with memorabilia and spacecraft models. These items will eventually be displayed at Madame Tussauds alongside the wax figure. Visitors to the museum will be able to see the figure as part of a broader exhibition that honors space exploration and the visionaries who have shaped the industry.
A New Era for Madame Tussauds New York
Madame Tussauds New York has long been known for its impressive collection of celebrity figures, and the addition of Musk’s figure marks a new chapter for the iconic wax museum. The Space Room exhibit will bring together historical figures, pioneers of space exploration, and contemporary innovators like Musk, allowing guests to explore the intersection of culture, science, and technology.
The museum’s new Space Room will not only highlight Musk’s achievements with companies like SpaceX but also celebrate other significant milestones in the history of space travel.
