Maisons Satie, Birth house museum in Honfleur, France.

Located near the port, this museum consists of two connected half-timbered houses with exhibits spread across multiple floors and rooms.

Erik Satie was born in this building on May 17, 1866, and the structure received official monument status before opening as a museum in 1998.

The museum displays personal items, manuscripts, and musical instruments while playing Satie's compositions through provided headphones during the visit.

Visitors can purchase a combined ticket for 13 euros that provides access to three additional museums in Honfleur: Marine, Ethnography, and Eugene Boudin.

The exhibition includes mechanical installations such as a large monkey, a winged pear, and a musical carousel that represents Satie's unconventional artistic vision.

Location: Honfleur

Official opening: June 21, 1998

Address: 88 90 rue Haute
