Madam Tussauds is now a famous name because of the museum (which was intended as a tribute to her) that displays ultra-life like wax models.

The Natural History Museum first opened its gates to the public on Easter Monday, 1881, its origins began more than 250 years ago. Sir Hans Sloane died in 1753 and during his life had collected what he called natural curiosities and he left his collection to the nation. Sloanes artifacts were originally housed in the British Museum, but as more and more pieces were added, the elements of natural history began to need their own home. The superintendent of the natural history section Sir Richard Owen convinced the government that they needed a new museum.
