Charlie Chaplin was one of film’s first true superstars. An icon of silent movies. His legacy continues to live on in a new museum honouring the legendary comedian. This museum is dedicated to the life and work of filmmaker Charlie Chaplin. The museum opened at his Swiss home near Lake Geneva after more than 15 years of planning.
“It’s a great pleasure to see the final result as this has been a long project to implement. Sometimes we were on the edge of a cliff, but now I see the thing realised it’s surprising,” Chaplin’s 70-year-old son Michael Chaplin told reporters on Saturday at the inauguration of Chaplin’s World in the picturesque village of Corsier-sur-Vevey on Lake Geneva.
Visitors can walk throughout the huge mansion entering his former living room, dining room and library, where Chaplin used to write his autobiography and prepare scripts. Upstairs there is access to his bedroom and other rooms.
