After 15 years of planning, Chaplin's World, an interactive museum showcasing the life and works of Charlie Chaplin, has opened in the Swiss village of Corsier-sur-Vevey on Lake Geneva.

The museum is set in a 14-hectare park on the estate of Manoir de Ban, where Chaplin spent the last 25 years of his life with his wife Oona and their eight children.

"This is a museum in movement, it is not static. It is like the character to whom it pays tribute,” Chaplin's son Michael Chaplin told journalists.

The exhibition includes 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 films.

The son of "King of the Ranchera" has followed his father's footsteps in pursuing a successful career in Mexican folk music. Joining his father on stage, Alejandro Fernandez vowed to continue his father's legacy.
