Charles Chaplin exiled himself to Switzerland in 1953 after the U.S. revoked his re-entry permit to the U.S.. He moved into the grand old mansion Manoir de Ban above Vevey, which now forms part of Chaplin’s World, a museum celebrating the artist’s life, which opened its doors on 16 April 2016 – the organisers love that date!
So where did 662 Charlie Chaplin fans find bowler hats?
