Stuck in Britain on Inauguration Day? Madame Tussauds, the London waxworks museum, is offering U.S. tourists free attendance to see their new president up close.

The museum, which typically charges $38 at the doors, says Americans need to bring proof of citizenship.

The offer is intended to celebrate the inauguration of the museum’s new attraction, a Barack Obama waxwork, on Jan. 20.
