Living museum biography projects

It’s so exciting to host a living history wax museum for students. For the best results, give special care to each preparation phase of the process. 

To help with the task, I’m sharing my wax museum project ideas that can be used with elementary, middle, or high school students.  

What is a Living Wax Museum Project?

A wax museum project is a school-related activity where students present a famous person or significant character.

Standing before visual backdrops and dressed in costume, individual or small groups of students stand in position and perform while guests stroll through the “living museum” listening to the presentations. 

If you’re ready for your students to deepen their knowledge about a particular subject and also put on a great show, this post is for you.

These wax museum project ideas are divided into five phases in order to keep the planning organized and as smooth as possible.
