What To Expect

Potter's Wax Museum

The inspiration behind Potter's Wax Museum came from a childhood trip to London taken by founder, George L. Potter. As a child, he was mesmerized by the life like figures and wanted to share his enjoyment with the American public. In 1947, Potter began contracting with GEMS of London, a noted wax studio, to create one of a kind figures for his museum. Potter employed artists from all over Europe to aide in this project with the wax imported from France, hair from Italy, and the sculpting taking place in Belgium. Opening it's doors in 1949, Potter's Wax Museum has served as an interactive, educational and fun attraction for visitors to the ancient city. At Potter's, you can interact with historic figures such as, Ponce de Leon, Albert Einstein, and Princess Diana, take a picture with Michael Jordon or Angelina Jolie; or imagine you are on set with Harry Potter and "He Who Must Not Be Named." Enjoy this unique St Augustine attraction.

This museum is very informative of the wax-figure making process. I was surprised to find out how much the figures and the costumes are worth! My favorite part of the tour was the 'horror' section, including the piece about the lovers at the Castillo. I wish we had known, or thought of, to stop in the front room where you purchase admission. That is the historical pharmacy section.

Stopped here and didn't expect much. The entrance is actually an authentic drug store stocked with drugs from the early 20th century. Prices are reasonable and it takes 30-45 minutes to see them all. Some are spooky good and some are just OK. They are life sized and that is the best part. Pretty interesting overall and you will learn something whether you like it or not.

It wasn’t very large. Only took about 10-15 minutes to walk through. The waxes are indeed very old. It has more historical figures than current people. It was average.
