Location

In honor of what would have been Michael Jackson’s 52ND birthday, Madame Tussauds Washington D.C. will offer 52% off the price of admission to anyone who mentions “MJ-52” at the admissions counter beginning Sunday, August 29 (Jackson’s birthday) through Monday, September 6 (Labor Day) at 1001 F Street, NW (10th & F Streets NW), Washington D.C. Visitors will also be able to interact and take photos with the attraction’s Bad-inspired wax figure of Jackson.

Michael Jackson was an active and enthusiastic participant in the creation of his wax figure, which features the “King of Pop” singing with microphone in-hand, wearing an all-black outfit reminiscent of the one he is seen wearing on his Bad album cover.

With more than 750 million album sales, Jackson is one of the most revered artists in the world. His iconic music inspired millions of people and multiple generations of artists and performers.

The attraction is located within walking distance of the National Mall and the White House.
