Simon and Garfunkel

Art Garfunkel and Paul Simon - waxwork figures by Madam Tussuads - at the London Pavilion Piccadilly Rock Circus exhibition London which was opened in 1989 by Jason Donovan and ended in September 2001

Visitors walked around the exhibition wearing headphones which used infra-red technology to beam relevant audio material according to what you were looking at. The centrepiece of the exhibition was a 'live' show performed by a series of lifelike animatronic figures, looking at the history of Rock music from 1950 to the present day. The audience sat in an auditorium which rotated to view the various stages.

The wax figures that made up the exhibition could take up to six months to create at a cost at the time of around £30,000. The animatronic figures could take up to a year and cost again at the time £100,000 each. The control systems for the exhibition were provided by Electrosonic Ltd with many of the performers featured in the exhibition having donated their own clothes
