Wax museum permanently closes at San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf

SAN FRANCISCO - Madame Tussauds, the popular Fisherman's Wharf attraction, has permanently closed its doors, the company confirmed Thursday. 

The wax museum closed on Aug. 3 after 10 years in business at the wharf. 

Prior to Madame Tussauds, the museum was operated as the Wax Museum of San Francisco, which had been a staple on Fisherman's Wharf for 50 years. 

"We are immensely grateful to our guests, teams and the community for their unwavering support over the last decade," the company said in a statement to KTVU. 

No reason was given for the closure. 

The company has 23 other locations, with the closest U.S. locations in Hollywood and Las Vegas.
