Anyone who has ever visited a wax museum knows that even the most realistic wax figures can be a little creepy. But there's something about wax figures being a little off that brings a whole different level of creepiness - or hilariousness, depending on how you look at it. And if there's one wax museum that's notorious for its hilariously bad wax figures, it's the Louis Tussaud's House of Wax in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.
Throughout the years, the museum has become somewhat of a tourist attraction for all the wrong reasons. People from all over the world would flock to it to see some of the most hilarious wax figures ever created. From Mussolini that look like he's been punched in the face to The Beatles that look like a group of Mormons about to knock on your door, check out the museum's collection of hilariously terrible wax figures in the gallery below!

Sadly, the wax museum closed its doors back in October of 2012 after 57 years of running. But don't worry - the wax figures weren't turned into candles. An anonymous Czech collector actually purchased all of them, according to former owner Jane Hayes.
In an interview with Dailymail, Peter Hayes, Jane's husband and co-owner of the museum, said that it costs around $1,245 to make one of the figures. The whole collection was estimated to be worth about $14,943, but it's not clear how much it actually sold for.

If you think the museum's name sounds a little familiar, it's because it was named after the great-grandson of Madame Tussaud. And even though the sculptures might have looked a little hilarious, apparently a lot of people miss them, as seen on the museum's Trip Advisor page.
