Before wax museums became a trend in Lonavala,
there was an ARTIST.
Sunil Kandalloor — India’s first professional wax sculpture artist —
introduced the culture of real wax museums to India and founded
Sunil’s Wax Museum, the ORIGINAL wax museum of Lonavala.
This museum was not only created for business,
it was created for ART and Educational purpose.
Each statue here is hand-sculpted under the guidance of Sunil Sir himself.
For many personalities, including national icons,
Sunil Sir personally took real body and facial measurements
to ensure life-like accuracy, expressions, and posture.
That is why these statues don’t just look similar —
they look REAL.
Today, multiple wax museums exist in Lonavala.
Most visitors are unaware that many statues are factory-made or imported,
and not created by an on-site wax artist.
Art is created by hands, skill, and experience —
not shipped in boxes.
Unfortunately, confusion is also created through paid recommendations
and commissions, which often divert visitors away from the original place.
But no shortcut, no marketing, and no commission
can replace originality and legacy.
Sunil’s Wax Museum remains the FIRST and ORIGINAL wax museum of Lonavala —
built on passion, craftsmanship, and decades of experience.
If you truly want to experience REAL wax art,
visit the place where it all began.
Choose originality.
Choose the artist.
Choose Sunil’s Wax Museum.
