OBAMA WAX FIGURE AT MADAME TUSSAUDS: London venue to unveil statue on Inauguration Day with free admission to US citizens.
*To celebrate the inauguration of Barack Obama, London's Madame Tussauds wax museum is offering free entry on Jan. 20 to any visitor able to prove they're a U.S. citizen.
The publicity stunt is also intended to introduce its newest attraction - a Barack Obama waxwork, reports the Associated Press.
The statue has yet to be completed, but museum officials said Wednesday that Obama would be shown in an informal and relaxed pose, smiling with arms casually folded amid a reproduction of the White House Oval Office.
Museum spokeswoman Liz Edwards said "it's such a poignant moment in American history." She declined to say how many people she thought would show up for the free viewing.
The museum's usual entry fee is 25 pounds ($38).
