Geneva region

As an important financial center, Geneva is also known as "the smallest metropolis in the world" and impresses with its 140-meter-high water fountain "Jet d'eau" on the shores of Lake Geneva. Geneva proves its global importance with the fact that the city is the headquarters of many international organizations. The World Health Organization (WHO), the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the United Nations (UN), to name just a few, are based in Geneva.

“An immersive exhibition that touches the soul. Every detail has been thoughtfully crafted, staying true to Chaplin's humanism. You feel connected to his world from the moment the film starts at the cinema, before gradually exploring each theme of his vast body of work. A body of work that rises above human foolishness through laughter, poetry, beauty, dreams, and unconditional love. Universal.”
