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.

Lots of history at the Potter's Wax Museum, Yikes! I wonder if Andrew Jackson and Charles Dickinson fight late at nights like that Ben Stiller flick.

We have visited St. Augustine many times as a family, but we had never visited Potter's Wax Museum. We entered and decided to pay the admission to tour the museum. The admission fee is reasonable for a tourist town like St. Augustine. The Museum is in the location of the old town drug store, but it has been a wax museum for a very long time. It is located right near the old city gates and the parking garage. The wax figures are primarily of historical figures. There are presidents, famous authors, famous classical musicians, historical characters from ancient and medieval history, etc. There are some entertainment and sports figures (Michael Jordan, Star Wars, etc.), but they are by far the smallest segment in the museum. The wax figures are all painstakingly crafted and most were very recognizable. I have to say the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. I can highly recommend asking them questions and learning as much as possible from them. The visit was fun and much better than I initially expected. I can recommend the Wax Museum.
