Dreamland Foz Wax Museum (Museu de Cera Dreamland)
The Dreamland Wax Museum (aka Dreamland Foz), the largest of its kind in Brazil, houses more than 70 life-size wax figures. Get up close and personal with representations of Pope John Paul II, Madonna, Charlie Chaplin, Neymar Jr., Whoopi Goldberg, and many more.
The Basics
The museum’s collection is divided into categories: movie stars, sports stars, pop stars, and more. You’ll see each wax statue in an appropriate setting, such as Pelé on a soccer field and R2-D2 in a futuristic scene. If you plan to do additional sightseeing, look for a combo ticket that includes Dreamland Foz along with other attractions in the area—some packages include round-trip transport from your hotel.
