“Great. We thought we would spend 1.5 to 2 hours with my 4-year-old daughter, but we ended up staying all afternoon.”

Gruyères is a picturesque small town in the canton of Fribourg, known for its cheese of the same name, Gruyère. The town lies in the heart of the foothills of the Alps and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. One of its special features is the well-preserved medieval townscape with narrow streets and traditional buildings. One of the main attractions is the imposing Gruyères Castle. It is enthroned on a hill and allows visitors to immerse themselves in the history and culture of the region. The HR Giger Museum is dedicated to the works of Swiss artist and Oscar winner H. R. Giger. The area around Gruyères offers numerous hiking trails and opportunities to explore the beautiful nature of the Gruyère region.

“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.”
