Montreal’s Grevin wax museum unveils sculpture of Justin Trudeau
MONTREAL — Instead of having to elbow through a crowd of fawning denizens to get a snapshot of Justin Trudeau, fans of the 23rd prime minister can now take their time for a selfie with their favourite world leader — almost.
Montreal’s Grevin wax museum unveiled a statue of Trudeau on Tuesday, sculpted by Paris-based artist Eric Saint Chaffray.
Kathleen Payette, head of the museum, said they chose the Canadian leader because of his “modernism, his open mind and because of his world-wide popularity.”
In a tailored blue suit with his hands clasped gingerly in front of him, the eyes of Trudeau’s wax effigy look slightly to the left of the room.
