May 15, 2014 - We are sharing a sneak peek image of Jerry Garcia from the upcoming Madame Tussauds San Francisco attraction opening on June 26. Now his legacy lives on as an official wax figure at Madame Tussauds San Francisco where Bay Area visitors will have the opportunity to view Jerry - among other prolific wax figures - that are being specially constructed for the new location. Jerry's figure took a team of 20 artists and approximately three months to create with the use of more than 200 different measurements. Additionally, each strand of hair was inserted by hand individually, taking approximately five weeks to complete.
Madame Tussauds San Francisco will celebrate the city's iconic figures and landmarks through the use of a dedicated 'Spirit of San Francisco' room. As with all Madame Tussauds attractions, there will be no ropes or barriers so visitors are able to get close and examine the incredible detail and artistry of these intricate, lifelike figures.
