(ECNS) -- A fun-themed wax museum will open to the public on Sept 27 in Changsha, Central China's Hunan province, the local Xiaoxiang Morning Herald reported.

The museum has 40 wax figures of world-famous celebrities, including Hollywood stars, sports superstars and political elitists. It also set aside a zone to showcase the world's oddities, in which visitors can see the world's largest natural breasts, biggest nose, largest mouth, and so on.

In addition to taking photos of the wax figures, visitors can "interact" with them using technology.

He Xianhua, general manager of the museum, said the museum is focused on visitors' participation and enjoyment. "Visitors can touch the figures gently, except for their hands and faces," He said.

"With technology, visitors can dance Gangnam Style with PSY, sing with Michael Jackson, or 'fight' with boxer Muhammad Ali."

He also said they are planning to expand the museum, which now covers an area of 300 square meters, to showcase more statues of local celebrities.
