Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – Cristiano Ronaldo recently took a trip to explore his newly inaugurated museum in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, featuring a wax figure adorned in the iconic Al-Nassr football kit.
The “CR7SignatureMuseum” is now open to the public, offering a state-of-the-art gallery that chronicles significant events in Portuguese history. Ronaldo, visibly excited about the venture, shared glimpses of his museum visit on Instagram, captioning the post with “This is My Story.” The museum, which relocated from Madeira, promises an immersive experience for visitors, celebrating the legendary footballer’s remarkable journey.
During his visit, Ronaldo took a moment to stand alongside the wax replica crafted in meticulous detail, showcasing the Al-Nassr kit. The museum not only highlights Ronaldo’s achievements on the field but also incorporates interactive and entertaining elements on its grounds.
This venture adds to the global collection of wax figures portraying Cristiano Ronaldo, with renowned establishments like Madame Tussauds featuring their own versions. In 2022, Ronaldo became the first player to have a “Times Square takeover” when a new wax figure of him was unveiled in New York’s iconic Times Square just ahead of the World Cup.
Known for his appreciation of artistry, Ronaldo reportedly invested £20,000 in 2015 to acquire a wax figure for his Madrid residence. Crafted by the same artist responsible for the Museum of Wax in Madrid, the detailed replica left an indelible impression on the football star, prompting him to make it a part of his personal collection.
