The Grevin museum is the product of the imagination of Arthur Meyer. In 1881, he decided to recreat life-size three dimensional likenesses of illustrious personages and to put them on exhibit in a museum. Arthur Meyer entrusted this project to the caricaturist Alfred Grevin. Possessed of a prodigious ego, the artist decided to give his own name to the museum. Built by the archtect Esnault-Pelterie, the museum was inaugurated on June 5th, 1882.
The lookalike wax Rachida Dati entered the museum in Paris October 13, 2009. The character wears a black suit that the politician is particularly fond of.
