查理・卓别林博物馆在瑞士对外开放
A museum celebrating Charlie Chaplin will finally open at his former Swiss home on April 17th after more than 15 years of planning.
经历长达15年多的计划筹备，一座纪念查理·卓别林的博物馆将于4月17日在他的瑞士故居对外开放。
The opening in the village of Corsier-sur-Vevey will come a day after what would have been the British screen legend's 127th birthday.
Chaplin's son Eugene Chaplin described discovering some of the exhibits on show, including his father's trademark tramp costume.
"We had a cellar, and we had loads of things there, and my mum had the key, and I think she just forgot what was there. And one day by opening some of the old cases, we discovered the costume. So, that was a good surprise."
The museum project has faced repeated stumbling blocks. It took five years to settle a lawsuit filed by a neighbor and another seven years to get a building permit.
