Wax Mark Zuckerberg at San Francisco Madame Tussauds is in the lobby for free selfies
-
There’s a wax figure of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg in
the San Francisco location of wax museum chain Madame
Tussauds. -
The hyper-realistic rendition of the CEO is a hit among
guests, who formed a line just to get a selfie with
it. -
It’s currently in the lobby for visitors to see, but
when it’s not, the wax Zuck resides in the museum’s “History
& Leaders” area with other tech leaders, like Steve
Jobs.
The chances of seeing
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg meandering the streets of San
Francisco, or anywhere in Silicon Valley for that matter, are
pretty slim.
Luckily, you can visit the city’s Fisherman’s Wharf for a
sighting — a wax statue sighting, that is.
The San Francisco branch of wax museum chain Madame Tussauds
created the wax Zuck figure back when it opened in 2014. It’s
currently in the museum lobby for tourists and locals alike to
fawn over, without having to buy a ticket.
And fawn they do: visitors formed a queue for their own selfie
opportunity. I had to wait in line for a good couple minutes.
Twitter, of course, had some fun with the whole exhibit, first
spurred by a tweet in which the Madame Tussauds San Francisco
account references
Facebook’s record-breaking $120 billion market cap drop last
week.
Nevertheless, the statue is still a fan favorite, according to a
Madame Tussauds spokesperson, and
made an appearance at 2016’s Silicon Valley Comic Con.
The spokesperson also told Business Insider that when the wax
Zuck isn’t entertaining his doting fans in the lobby, he resides
in the “History & Leaders” section of the museum with fellow
Silicon Valley pioneers Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.
The wax sculpture definitely looks better than Mark Zuckerberg in the congressional hearings. Admittedly I probably wouldn’t fare much better.
