Conclusion
The Grévin Museum is a high-quality wax museum and a bit of a Paris institution - if you think you would like it, then you probably will. And if you think you won't, then save your euros for another activity. We are not trying to be smart here, but many people love this type of attraction and a substantial number of people do not see the point in it so just look at pictures and decide in which camp you fall.
