We went to a wax museum in Kolkata and thoroughly enjoyed it. The wax figures looked so real! Here is one of them - doesn't it look like he is actually a real person sitting and reading a book??!! I was impressed with the amount of detail put in to it including the eyes, the fingers, hair, etc.

A lot of people are posting about wax museums today! Yes, the figure in your picture looks incredibly real. You made a good choice in picking the subject for your picture.

It does look real. I had seen some wax figures in Hong Kong before.

If you do not look at his hands, he really looks like a living person.

We visited a wax museum in Ireland and, like you, were amazed at the amount of careful detailing in the figures.

We took pictures of us sitting on a chair next to him and it looked like we were part of the scene too.

It's very real. Wish they had made the hands a little better - the texture looks too artificial.
