On November 20, the Grevin Museum, one of Europe’s oldest wax museums, based in Paris, France, presented a new figure of the late Princess Diana, dressed in her iconic "revenge dress."
The striking black cocktail dress can be traced back to a 1994 Serpentine Gallery event in London, where the late Princess of Wales wore the off-the-shoulder gown on the same night King Charles III—then Prince Charles—revealed his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, now Queen Camilla, to the world.
Indeed, in a world dominated by technology, there is something refreshing about reverting to an ancient art form as a way to celebrate a person's contribution to the world. From memorials to tributes in honor of living legends, for years statues have been used to that effect.
We are lucky enough to find fine works of art displayed all over the world honoring different famous people, for different reasons. Other works, of course, are not so pretty...
From beautifully crafted statues to some really odd ones, in this gallery you'll find a bit of everything. Click on.
