Obama wax figure free for Yanks in London

On January 2oth that is ...

Stuck in Britain on Inauguration Day?

Madame Tussauds, the London waxwork museum, is offering U.S. tourists the chance to see their new president up close for free.
The museum says Americans need to bring proof of citizenship.

The offer is intended to celebrate the inauguration of the museum's new attraction - a Barack Obama waxwork - on January 20th.

Sculptors are still adding the finishing touches, but the museum said Wednesday that Obama would be shown in an informal and relaxed pose, smiling with arms folded amid a reproduction of the White House Oval Office.

Museum spokeswoman Liz Edwards declined to say how many people she thought would show up for the free viewing.
The museum typically charges 25 pounds ($38) at the door.
