New U.S. Presidential Gallery
New U.S. Presidential Gallery Will Feature Wax Figures Of All 44 U.S. Presidents
In what will serve as a tribute to all 44 U.S. presidents, Madame Tussauds D.C. will build a new U.S. Presidential Gallery that will house wax figures of all U.S. presidents. Following each phase of figure unveilings, the new figures will be on display at Madame Tussauds D.C. until all presidents are ready to be installed in the new gallery, which will debut in 2011.
“With the completion and opening of the new U.S. Presidential Gallery in 2011, Madame Tussauds will be the only place in the world that people will be able to meet and take a picture with all 44 U.S. presidents,” said Janine DiGioacchino, General Manager of Madame Tussauds New York and Washington D.C. “Having all 44 U.S. presidents together will allow us to provide a unique and enriching educational experience for class trips and general visitors alike. We know everyone will love seeing and interacting with our new figures, and the gallery.”
The addition of the new Presidential Gallery will serve as a rich educational resource including a curriculum focused on the history of the U.S. presidents and will fully complement the attraction’s existing and free comprehensive Educational Curriculum Guide, developed in accordance with the US Department of National Social Studies Standards and National Council for the Social Civil Rights Movement Studies Standards.
