Geneva, Switzerland -- Charlie Chaplin's home in Switzerland will be turned into the first museum dedicated to him. Chaplin lived in a vintner's chateau until his death in 1977.

Chaplin's son Michael says people used to come to the door for years and ask if they could walk around, so that planted the idea to make the estate a museum.

The displays will include Chaplin movies, the piano where he composed film scores and a giant recreation of the machine from "Modern Times." The museum is expected to open within two years.
