Museo de Cera Adds Bad Bunny Wax Figure to Permanent Collection

The figure represents the museum's strategy to connect with younger urban-music audiences through hyper-real craftsmanship.

Overview

  • The Museo de Cera de Madrid presented and placed the life-size Bad Bunny figure in its permanent collection on Thursday, May 28, 2026, in the days before his multi-night concert series in the city.
  • The museum says the sculpture required five months of artisanal work to reproduce the singer's current wardrobe, facial expression and signature stage pose.
  • Artists inserted hair strand by strand and the team recreated a Caribbean-inspired staging to mirror the performer's recent visual era.
  • To copy the performer's many tattoos the museum collaborated with tattoo artist Adrián Sánchez (Black Sánchez), who worked to reproduce details directly on the figure.
  • Museum officials expect the new display to act as a draw for fans and younger visitors and to boost interest around Bad Bunny's Madrid shows and wider cultural tourism.
