Wax Museum at Fishermans Wharf

The Wax Museum at Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco, USA, had over 270 wax figures. Originator Thomas Fong opened the museum in 1963 after seeing the wax figures at the Seattle World's Fair and it has been run by the Fong Family since. It has attracted over 400,000 visitors a year.
After 50 years at the center of Fisherman’s Wharf, a new chapter has begun for San Francisco’s famed Wax Museum at Fisherman’s Wharf (www.waxmuseum.com) guaranteeing the continuation of a Wax Museum attraction as part of the City’s tourist landscape. Merlin Entertainments, the world’s second-largest visitor attraction operator, (second only to Disney), signed a multi year real estate transaction with the Wax Museum Entertainment Complex Building to invest $35 million to open both the world famous Madame Tussauds Wax Attraction and The San Francisco Dungeon at Fisherman’s Wharf. Madame Tussauds San Francisco opened for business on June 26, 2014 and features all new wax figures created by Madame Tussauds.
The last day of business for The Wax Museum at Fisherman's Wharf was on August 15, 2013.
==Founder==
Thomas L. Fong was born in Canton Province, China on January 4, 1913 and grew up in a small village. He emigrated to San Francisco, aged 17, when a family friend who was there offered to sponsor a member of the family. By 1938 he was running a jewelry store, and developing real estate projects.
In the early 1960s Fong bought a run-down grain mill called Smith Anderson Mill, near Fisherman’s Wharf and decided to open the Wax Museum at Fisherman's Wharf. The attraction opened on May 12, 1963. With the success of their first museum, the family purchased Movieland Wax Museum in Buena Park, California on April 1, 1985 and operated it until it closed on October 31, 2005.
By 1989, Tommy, as he was known at Fisherman's Wharf, decided to leave the Management and Operations of the Wax Museum and other family businesses to his son, Ron Fong and his grandson, Rodney Fong. Tommy died on November 26, 2000, aged 87.〔
