Chaplin's World, Cinema museum in Corsier-sur-Vevey, Switzerland.
Chaplin's World is a museum on the Manoir de Ban estate, spanning several historic buildings and gardens. The exhibition presents film sets, props, clothing, and personal items from different stages of the artist's life.
The artist moved to Manoir de Ban in 1952 and lived there until his death in 1977. The estate opened to visitors in 2016 and has since functioned as a memorial to his influence on cinema.
The museum displays how Chaplin shaped his career and which objects marked his daily life, from costumes to personal items spanning different creative periods. Visitors see the rooms where he lived and understand how his surroundings influenced his artistic work.
The museum is reachable by bus from Vevey center and sits in a quiet area with adequate parking. Plan for at least two to three hours to explore the exhibition and gardens properly.
Inside Manoir de Ban stands the private projection room where the artist watched his works alongside films by other directors. This intimate space gives visitors insight into his personal passion for cinema.

Statues of film and television characters are displayed in streets, parks, and airports of many cities around the world. These bronze and metal monuments honor figures who have made a mark in the history of cinema. From the giant sculpture of Marilyn Monroe in Palm Springs, recreating the famous scene from "Seven Year Itch," to the 4-meter statue of Charlie Chaplin installed outside the Corsier-sur-Vevey museum in Switzerland, these installations allow visitors to explore film legends' legacies. Some locations concentrate several of these sculptures. At Leicester Square, London's cinema district, nine bronze statues depict characters like Harry Potter, Mary Poppins, Indiana Jones, Bugs Bunny, and Mr. Bean. Hong Kong’s Avenue of Stars features a statue of Bruce Lee in a fighting stance. In Wellington, New Zealand, the airport hosts a large-scale Gollum from The Lord of the Rings. These landmarks provide photo opportunities and encourage exploration of the cities where they are located.
