The Wax Museum of Fátima presents a detailed narrative of the 1917 apparitions and the development of the Fátima devotion through a series of wax dioramas. Visitors see the three shepherd children, Lúcia, Francisco, and Jacinta, as they encounter the Virgin Mary, along with scenes of the Miracle of the Sun and the construction of the basilica. The figures are dressed in period clothing and set in realistic backdrops, offering an educational yet moving experience. This museum is ideal for those wanting to understand the historical and spiritual context of Fátima before or after visiting the sanctuary.
