Chaplin's World

Since its opening in 2016, the museum dedicated to the artist has drawn more than 950,000 visitors from 75 different countries: underpinned by the conviction that a joyful and humanistic perspective on the world has never been so current, CDA continues to develop its original and immersive concept, backed by the expertise of Grévin. The aim: creating a place of cultural entertainment unique in the world by contributing to the tourist and cultural appeal of the Swiss Riviera.

With the 2016 inauguration, Dominique Marcel, CEO of Compagnie des Alpes, said the following: “Chaplin’s World by Grévin combines three qualities that Chaplin and Grévin clearly have in common: culture, vision and emotion. At the crossroads of theatre, entertainment, magic and emotion, this now shared universe perfectly reflects that which Compagnie des Alpes wishes to give all visitors: a unique experience. Lastly, this exceptional site superbly conveys the Group’s determination to reach beyond borders to export our French expertise and share that French Touch in the area of leisure and tourism.”

Established in Manoir de Ban, the artist’s familyresidence for 25 years, Chaplin’s World houses more than 4,000 m² of exhibitions, a 5-hectare garden and a 1,350 m² cinema built and equipped in line with sustainable development and energy-saving standards.
These spaces are fully integrated into the museum experience, which features more than 30 wax figures designed and created by Grévin artists.
The project benefited from Compagnie des Alpes’ expertise, as the museum tour includes: never-before- seen videos, recreated film sets, meetings with legendary actors, etc.
Product quality, originality and an immersive experience enabled Chaplin’s World to obtain the 2017 and 2018 Traveller’s Choice Awards, the Best Museum in Europe Award in 2018, and the Trip Advisor certification of excellence in 2019.
