Here at DCist, we’re always happy to pass along publicity stunts which dabble in the surreal. That said, we were excited to see this image, taken yesterday inside Union Station’s Grand Atrium, land in our inbox last night. Wax figures of all 44 presidents (click here to see a high-res version) were set up to promote Madame Tussauds‘ soon-to-open U.S. Presidents Gallery — “the only place in the world where people can see and interact with all 44 U.S. Presidents.” (How many can you name without cheating?) It’s also nice to know that Lyndon Johnson’s wax figure continues to smash the Unintentional Comedy scale — Johnson’s sullen facial expression and positioning behind the rest of the group makes it look like he’s just photobombing the whole thing on his way to catch the train to New Carrollton.

The exhibit opens tomorrow, February 17.
