After 15 years of planning, finally, a museum showcasing the life and works of the famous Charlie Chaplin is set to open its doors in Switzerland with the aim of pay tribute to the London-born comedian. The museum has been named Chaplin's World.
The building is situated in a park on the estat of Manoir de Ban, in the village of Corsier-sur-Vevey on Lake Geneva. The decision of the location of the museum was been made because Chaplin himselfspent the last 25years of his life there, with his wife and their eight children.
The exibition consists on a Hollywood-style studio, a tour with images detailing Chaplin's life and work, and a mock "Easy Street" (a setting for one of his classic movies). There are more than 30 wax figures, including people who were important to him, for example,there is the famous scientific Albert Einstein, and the pop singer Michael Jackson.
Charlie Chaplin and his wife were forced to leave the United States in the 1950s.because the actor was suspected to have communist sympathies. He died on Christmas Day in 1977 at the age of 88, but now he has his own museum in which everyone can have the experience of understant he andhis world a litlle more.
