I know the opening of the relocated Wax Museum (In Smithfield) got postponed due to some of the figures being stolen. Does anyone know when this museum is going to be open or has it been pushed back indefinitely? Thanks

Don't know if the Smithfield thing is happening anymore now.

Last I heard there was another location mentioned... can't remember where it was right now though.

Thanks for your response. I had heard something about Grafton Street on Google but I don't know about that!

I knew you would be all over this thread like a flannel

I hope they bring back the tunnels and the room that you emerge from that makes you all dizzy and looks like Ned Flanders house when it was rebuilt.

grafton street sounds unlikely. Did the stolen figures turn up?

Hope they don't recover the waxwork of Michelle De Bruin which was in the old museum.

I did not hear anything about the figures being stolen,thats a bit mad sure what would you do with them.

Yeah, happened last year. Then the opening was announced as Smithfield and nothing seemed to happened after that.

Sounds like Ireland leading from the front once more when it comes to culture.
Who else have they got?Brendan O'Carroll??

They used to have a waxwork of Gerry Ryan in the old museum.

Yep. I think that was about the last addition to the collection.

He was dressed like Neo from the Matrix for some reason though.

When they get a few Brazilians, I'll go!

only saw these replies on the Wax Museum, wasnt it great bring back the wax museum, the irish sports stars the irish presidents, the last supper, the flintstones snow white, the hall of mirrors, and not forgetting bob geldof and ELVIS!

The furry tunnels were the best.

But they'll never bring them back...

The Turtles were cool too.

Walking past Celtic Notr today I spotted a Joe Dolan Wax work in the window. With a small sign at his feet saying its was part of the collection if a new wax nuseum opening in foster place. Anyone know anyore about it

Sundew · 20-11-2008 1:42am

I only rang up the other day to find out when they were opening. Yes apparently the new wax museum is opening in Forster Place but it probably will be after Christmas when it does......so I was told!

lostexpectation · 21-11-2008 4:50am

Crash · 21-11-2008 4:55am

Iirc Trinity moved or had plans to move a bunch of admin staff out of one of the offices there and into a building at the back of college - unless its one of those?

monkeyfudge · 21-11-2008 4:59am

I think it's this one:

Great location for it.

lostexpectation · 21-11-2008 5:30am

how can they afford that?

Ste.phen · 21-11-2008 9:13am

Maybe Trinity are doing some community service?

graciegrace · 22-11-2008 12:27am

starn · 25-11-2008 12:06am

Is it just me or does anyone think that waxwork museums are tacky in the extreme?

With all there is to see in Dublin, I cannot understand why anyone would want to waste time there. I'd rather do a tour of a wheelie bin.

Each to his/her own I suppose!

If it was Madame Tussaud's then it might be ok but have any of you people getting excited actually been to the original museum in Parnell Square? It was bleedin brutal-none of the figures looked anything like the celebrities.
