Chaplin's life and work come together nicely in Swiss project

Imagine moving along the cogs of giant machinery like Charlie Chaplin in Modern Times, or tumbling down a cabin teetering on the edge of a cliff as he did in Gold Rush.

An ambitious, immersive museum showcasing the life and works of the groundbreaking filmmaker that opened in Switzerland on Sunday, is now making it possible.

Chaplin's World, 15 years in the planning, premiered in the picturesque village of Corsier-sur-Vevey on Lake Geneva one day after what would have been the British screen legend's 127th birthday.
