Dublin’s National Wax Museum Unveils Taylor Swift Figure to Lead Refresh

The move signals a reset after a flawed Sinéad O’Connor likeness by prioritizing accuracy.

Overview

  • The National Wax Museum in Dublin unveiled a Taylor Swift wax figure modeled on an Eras Tour outfit.
  • A UK sculptor who previously made Father Ted characters spent nine months creating the likeness.
  • The figure anchors a new music area that places her alongside Phil Lynott, U2 and Jedward.
  • Managers said the rollout starts a broader refresh that aims to boost footfall by leaning on Swift’s Irish roots and her 2024 Dublin shows.
  • After public backlash over a 2024 Sinéad O’Connor figure led to its withdrawal, the museum stressed accuracy and said O’Connor will return next.
