Hepburn's two sons charge that an exhibition in Tolochenaz, Switzerland, is cheapening and exploiting her good name.
Her eldest son, Sean Ferrer, said that instead of celebrating the beloved actress - who died in 1993 - the museum is a tacky shrine comparable to Graceland, the former home of Elvis Presley.
Tolochenaz was Hepburn's home for the last 30 years of her life.
Audrey Hepburn was one of the most distinguished residents of Tolochenaz, the small village in Vaud whose authorities and inhabitants joined forces with the Audrey Hepburn Foundation to render homage to her life's work.
Presently on view in the Tolochenaz museum's two exhibition rooms are memorabilia from the actress's stage and film career (including her 2 Oscars) and 5 years as UNICEF good will ambassador.
Many of Tolochenaz' 60 volunteers, the eldest of whom is in her early 80s, knew Hepburn as neighbours.
