The museum utilizes specialized techniques to achieve realistic skin textures and authentic clothing for each figure.
Some figures are imported, while others are commissioned specifically for the Monterrey location to highlight regional cultural pride.
The facility is integrated into the larger Parque Fundidora, which was formerly the site of a major iron and steel foundry.
The wax used for the sculptures is a high-melting-point compound designed to withstand the region's intense summer temperatures.
The collection frequently rotates figures to coincide with current global pop-culture trends and movie releases.
Muscera, the Museo de Cera de Monterrey, features over 100 wax figures representing historical, cultural, and pop-culture icons. The collection includes meticulously crafted replicas of international celebrities, political figures, and local Mexican historical personalities. Located within the historic Parque Fundidora grounds, the museum occupies a building that integrates modern exhibition spaces with the site's industrial heritage. Exhibits are organized into themed galleries, ranging from cinema and sports to history and horror characters. The museum serves as an interactive educational space designed to offer visitors a chance to photograph themselves alongside lifelike figures. As of July 2026, it remains a permanent attraction within the Fundidora complex.
