Maison Gainsbourg, Memorial museum in 6th arrondissement, France.
Maison Gainsbourg is the former residence of musician Serge Gainsbourg in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, now operating as a museum. Multiple rooms display personal belongings, photographs, and memorabilia related to his life and career.
Gainsbourg lived in the house from 1969 until 1991, using it as both a private residence and creative workplace. The property was transformed into a public museum following his death and opened to visitors in 2023.
The house displays handwritten materials and personal objects that reveal how Gainsbourg shaped French music through his bold experiments. Visitors can sense his creative choices and the way he worked in this space.
The museum is accessible through guided tours in multiple languages, with advance reservations required through the official website for specific time slots. Plan ahead to secure your preferred visit time.
The entrance gate is covered with inscriptions and drawings left by visitors over time, creating a constantly changing tribute wall. This improvised display has become a tribute in itself to the artist.
