>Anger at 'ugliest' museum 最丑蜡像馆遭吐槽(图)
Celebrities across China are outraged at their unauthorizedwax figures being included in a museum in Sichuan that has beendubbed by Internet users as "the ugliest wax museum." The museum,located in the city of Huayingshan, contains wax figures that manyvisitors have said don't resemble the celebrities they are supposedto depict. Many visitors reportedly didn't know who was supposed tobe depicted in each wax figure, until they saw the figure's nameplate. The sub-par wax likenesses are the work of Zhang Shouxiang,a former curator at the Beijing Wax Museum. He defended hiswidely-criticized work, saying that it is normal for a wax figureto not look exactly like the person it is supposed to depict.
