Madame Tussauds - London

Obama steps into the Oval Office

Newly elected US President, Barack Obama, enjoyed an early inauguration as his wax figure was revealed at Madame Tussauds this morning.

Standing in a recreation of the legendary Oval Office, President Obama is in a typical informal and relaxed pose, smiling with arms casually folded, dressed in a tailored suit.

Stepping right into the heart of the White House you can sit behind the iconic Resolute desk used by Presidents since 1880 or pace the “American Eagle” monikered carpet and experience what it’s like to be a World Leader. Now you have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the world’s most powerful man.
