What do Walt Disney, Amelia Earhart and Cleopatra all have in common?

Ask the third-graders in Lisa Luker’s class at Pine View Elementary School and they’ll tell you each is a character in the living wax museum they recently staged on the campus.

For the production, students each researched a famous historical figure to learn interesting biographical facts about their lives, accomplishments and challenges. Then they each dressed the part of their selected person to help create a 13-plus-minute video that chronicles their work while telling the tales of some of history’s most famous figures.

Check out the video included in this story to see the living museum.
