Model adds to a museum - making over area for one's founder? (6,7)
I believe the answer is:
madame tussaud
'founder?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'model adds to a museum making over area for one's' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'model' could be 't' (Ford Model T car) and 't' is present in the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
'area' could be 'a' (maths abbreviation) and 'a' is found within the answer.
'one' could be 'me' (a setter might use 'one' to humourously mean 'me') and 'me' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for madame tussaud that I've seen before include "her sculpture attempted realism" , "Swiss woman who modelled in London" .)
