Wax Figures



Can you believe the first man pictured above is a wax figure? His name is Thomas W. Dortch. On Monday morning I visited the Great Blacks in Wax Museum located on E. North Avenue. This museum is truly fascinating. These figures are a great form of art. Typography is also used to convey information about the exhibits. The museum is raising money for a likeness of President-Elect Barack Obama, which will be revealed early next year.
