A lovely museum that isn't too crowded. You can easily purchase tickets outside, and there's a lot to explore inside with interesting historical explanations and displays of famous figures.

An amazing spot in Barcelona. I bought tickets at the counter on the street for 18 euros with a discount. I spent about 50 minutes there, and it was filled with various wax figures of notable personalities. The introductory video and the immersive 'elevator ride' were highlights. Highly recommend this experience.
