On Saturday May 17, 2025, Nuit des Musées invites you to an exceptional evening at the Musée de la Maison Gainsbourg, 5 bis rue de Verneuil. This free musical Nocturne is an exceptional opportunity to plunge into the world of Serge Gainsbourg, the emblematic figure of French chanson.
The Maison Gainsbourg in Paris: a place where we say “Je t’aime… moi non plus” to art and music .
After lying dormant for more than 32 years, the Maison Gainsbourg opened its doors in September 2023, much to the delight of fans of La Javanaise. A veritable showcase dedicated to the world of the man with the cabbage head, this unique venue has quickly established itself as an essential cultural address, where people come to rediscover the soul and creative genius of Serge Gainsbourg. Conceived and passionately supported by Charlotte Gainsbourg, Artistic Director, this intimate and ambitious project invites visitors to plunge into the singular universe – both artistic and intimate – of the Gainsbourg icon.
