The location of the building, which is just steps from City Hall, Faneuil Hall, and accessible to the Government Center  T Station, was essential to their decision to locate the museum at 1 Washington Mall. The entity that will operate the Boston Wax Museum is based in Brazil where they own and operate three successful wax museums as well as other entertainment venues.

“Our client is thrilled to have found the perfect home for the Boston Wax Museum,” said Alvarado. “The concept has been extremely well received by the landlord, the Downtown Boston Business Improvement District (BID) and others in the City of Boston. Everyone involved is extremely excited about their decision to select Boston as the first city in the United States to open a museum. The museum will provide visitors with a high quality experience that will be both educational and entertaining.”
