A tourists named Anirban with his wife was in Mussoorie, when he came across the museum quite by accident. He said that the idea of the museum was a brilliant one. He also posed a selfie with Michael Jackson.

Mr. & Mrs. Gururaj were seen bending over the statues for a closer look. They were whispering about the hand of Gandhiji which looked very real to them. But Kate Winslet and Leonardo didn’t look real according to them. Einstein looked quite real to them.

According to Sabharwal, there is great demand of politicians, sports persons, Bollywood stars etc. Sooner or later the museum shall add up other statues to present ones. So, pack up and visit the new destination in Mussoorie.
