French President Emmanuel Macron’s wax statue was unveiled in 2018, crafted by sculptor Claus Velte, and displayed in a setting inspired by the Élysée Palace. The statue took several months to complete, based on detailed photographs and measurements. It had become a key political attraction at the museum, often visited by tourists and school groups.
