LOST: LOUIS ARMSTRONG'S TRUMPET

HOLLYWOOD WAX MUSEUM 

~ Hollywood, California ~


Something seems to be missing! The wax figure of Louis Armstrong stands without his familiar trademarked trumpet at Hollywood Wax Museum. This photo appeared in the September 14, 1972 edition of the Los Angeles Times.



Here for your enjoyment is a vintage postcard of Louis Armstrong from the Hollywood Wax Museum, courtesy of the personal collection of Timothy Randall.

Dedicated to preserving the history of Wax Arts, and the unique stories of all those involved in its development, WAXIPEDIA strives to be the number one source of information on the subject of Wax Museums and their role in the attractions and entertainment industries. Through the sharing of photographs, brochures, movies and stories we hope to enlighten, engage and entertain all who discover us. 

As a resource, the WAXIPEDIA ARCHIVES was established in 2014 as a repository for physical examples and information pertaining to these educational goals. Consisting of thousands of items (ranging from century-and-a-half year old guidebooks to life-sized wax figures) the ARCHIVES are the backbone of WAXIPEDIA's mission. Anyone interested in supporting these efforts through donating are encouraged to visit patreon.com/WAXIPEDIA and contact us at waxipediaofficial@gmail.com. Items donated will be digitally scanned, photographed and eventually restored to be credited to their specific donors and made available to future generations of artists, designers, historians and fans.
