Musée Grévin declares bankruptcy
The Musée Grévin, which opened here in 2013 as a spinoff from a Paris institution dating from 1883, closed in 2021 and has now declared bankruptcy – at least the Montreal branch has done so.

I suppose in a way it wasn’t a very good location. Super central, but totally hidden up there on the top floor?

That was probably a factor, but I think wax museums have had their day.

Agree with Kate. Plus, compared with Madame Tussauds, Grévin just isn’t well known, especially by tourists and especially non-Franco tourists. The focus on local celebs was also misguided, with limited appeal to clueless tourists and even Quebecers. Why pay to see a mediocre wax statue of, say, Ricardo, when he’s unavoidable on TV, in print and even on merchandise and when you can often see him in the flesh at his café and other venues?

Yes for sure.
