LONDON - Stuck in Britain on Inauguration Day? Madame Tussauds, the London waxwork museum, is offering U.S. tourists the chance to see their new president up close for free.
The attraction says it is offering free entry to visitors able to prove they are U.S. citizens Ğ a passport or driver's license will do. The offer is intended to celebrate the inauguration of the museum's new attraction Ğ a Barack Obama waxwork Ğ on Jan. 20.
Sculptors are still adding the finishing touches, but the museum said Wednesday that Obama would be shown in an informal and relaxed pose, smiling with arms casually folded amid a reproduction of the White House Oval Office.
Museum spokeswoman Liz Edwards said, "It's such a poignant moment in American history." She declined to say how many people she thought would come for the free viewing. The museum typically charges 25 pounds ($38) at the door.
