In 2017, Madame Tussauds opened its 23rd Wax museum in Connaught Place (CP), New Delhi. The CP museum has 52 wax figures of celebrities like Mahatma Gandhi, Amitabh Bachchan, Sachin Tendulkar, Shahrukh Khan among others.  

So, if you are planning to visit Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, you can get a discount of 30 per cent on the ticket prices! Madame Tussauds Wax Museum tickets prices start at Rs 494 for a child and Rs 624 for an adult while the VIP tickets cost Rs 1,100 for a child and Rs 1,400 for an adult.

The Ministry of Railways’ National Rail Museum (NRM) has entered into an agreement with Madame Tussauds Wax Museum to provide a combo offer to tourists in Delhi NCR.

"As a part of the collaboration, a special discount of 35% on ticket prices will be offered to NRM visitors when they visit the Madame Tussauds Museum. Similarly, Madame Tussauds Wax Museum visitors will be getting an attractive discount of 30% on combo packages of NRM.  It is envisaged that this innovative, first time ever, public-private museum collaboration, shall attract more tourists to both National Rail Museum and Madame Tussauds Wax Museum," said the ministry in a release.

The ministry has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. "In addition, there will be a special provision for school groups. School children will be able to enjoy both museums at a 45% discount. This will help in promoting railway heritage and also enable children to learn about national heroes, thereby making the student excursion more inclusive, holistic and interesting," it said.

This type of collaboration is already available in major tourist cities across the world.

"Delhi has many popular museums but most of them require individual ticketing. The broader vision of this collaboration is to spread the concept of a discounted single ticket for accessing more museums, even spanning over 3-4 days. This will not only be convenient for tourists, it will also promote the tourism industry," it said.
