French creative agency 'CentDegrés' and 'Confino' are just a few of the names that are accredited to the design of a Charlie Chaplin museum in Switzerland that offers visitors an insight as to how the iconic actor and director spent his life.
The wax museum is unbelievably detailed, with each of the beautifully sculpted pieces looking eerily lifelike, making visitors feel as though they are right on the movie sets. Situated beside Lake Geneva, the 3,000 square meter Charlie Chaplin museum celebrates where the legendary figure spent much of his life, as well as his film-making and continued legacy.
The museum came to reality with the help of Chaplin's relatives, who had a hand in making sure that the exhibits were as accurate as possible. With this, visitors are offered insight as to how Chaplin interacted with his family and are given the chance to hear celebrity stories passed down by Chaplin himself.
