In the picture we can see the famous people such as Princess Diana, David and Victoria Beckham, Charlie Chaplin and Prince William. They look really statuesque, that’s why I suppose these celebrities are just wax models. I guess the title of text is the museum’s name. Madame Tussauds is probably a founder of the museum or a creator of these models. На картине мы видим известных людей, таких как принцесса Диана, Дэвид и Виктория Бекхэм, Чарли Чаплин и принц Уильям. Они выглядят действительно похожими на изваяние, вот почему я предполагаю, что эти знаменитости — просто фигурки из воска. Я предполагаю, что заглавие текста – это название музея. Мадам Тюссо — вероятно, основательница музея или создательница этих фигур.
