Goa is a beautiful place to visit with some lovely beaches, churches, casinos, markets and a lot more. If you are on your trip to Goa, you might have heard about the Wax Museum in Old Goa. This Wax museum in Old Goa is named as “Wax De Goa”. It has Wax Statues of many popular celebrities, mathematicians, leaders and some theme based statues as well. There are many Wax Museums in many Indian cities now, the last time I saw a Wax Museum in Lonavala by Sunil Kandalloor.
