"I like the night, I have clearer ideas in the dark!"
Serge Gainsbourg
La Maison Gainsbourg is pleased to once again be associated with the European Night of Museums through a tailor-made programme.After more than 32 years of waiting, the Maison Gainsbourg has established itself since its opening in September 2023 as a must-see cultural venue in Paris dedicated to the transmission of Serge Gainsbourg’s work. Wanted and led by his daughter Charlotte, artistic director of the Maison Gainsbourg, this project offers a dive into the heart of the creative and personal universe of the artist.For its third participation, the Maison Gainsbourg is offering a free tour of its spaces on rue de Verneuil in Paris, with a musical atmosphere on Saturday, May 23, 2026 from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m.
Au 5 bis: the historic house in which Serge Gainsbourg lived for 22 years, legendary interior kept intact since his disappearance in 1991. She visits on an original soundtrack created by Soundwalk Collective in collaboration with Charlotte Gainsbourg.
Opposite, at number 14: a museum retracing the artist’s life and career through a chronological journey made up of 400 original objects and a selection of rare and unpublished archives. At the end of the tour, discover the temporary exhibition dedicated to the title "I love you... neither do I". The tour then continues with the Gainsbarre, a restaurant by day and cocktail bar in the evening, then ends in the bookstore-boutique which offers different collections to evoke the rich universe of the artist.Epicenter of the Maison Gainsbourg, the Gainsbarre is both a place of conviviality and diffusion. On the occasion of the 22nd edition of the European Night of Museums, discover a rhythmic program with concerts around the classical and jazz repertoire of Serge Gainsbourg.The "House & Museum" trail is fully booked (prize draw held on May 18, 2026). The visit is only available to the public with tickets, except for the "Musée seul" itinerary and the musical programme at Gainsbarre which are open to all (without reservation and subject to availability on the evening of the event).To be informed·e in advance of the news, subscribe to the newsletter or follow us on social media: linktr.ee/maisongainsbourgFor any questions, please contact our teams at the address: contact@maisongainsbourg.fr
