Gold Coast Wax Museum and Chamber of Horrors

The museum includes typical wax figures of famous people, although many of these movie stars, scientists, explorers, villains and world leaders are Australian. Frankenstein, Dracula, and a few Werewolves are thrown in for good measure.

The main attraction of the museum is its "Chamber of Horrors," a waxen walk through the history of torture. The chamber includes genuine torture devices and macabre wax recreations. Devices with names including ‘The Rat Torture’, ‘The Dis-emboweler’, and ‘The Flesh Tearer’ indicate the many myriad of tortures demonstrated at the museum. The Chamber of Horrors also displays a few morbidly related documents, from Hitler's Will to the death warrant of King Charles 1st. The hodge-podge chamber concludes with a genuine shrunken head, in true nonsensical freak show fashion.
