Immerse yourself in the world of Gainsbarre. More than 30 years after the death of Serge Gainsbourg, on March 2, 1991 at the age of 62, his fans continue to honor his memory by listening to his musical work. While he would have celebrated his birthday on April 2, his daughter Charlotte Gainsbourg announced good news to the public on social networks.
“He would be 95 today…”, she began in a publication where we distinguish the profile of Serge Gainsbourg in the form of a neon, placed on the facade outside. Before continuing. “I am very proud to announce the opening of the “Maison Gainsbourg” ticket office. A long work that will finally see the light of day… September 20, 2023!”.
In the heart of the 7th arrondissement of Paris, it is at 5 bis rue de Verneuil that the exhibition will be held. The opportunity for fans and visitors to discover the intimacy of the singer in his house and a dedicated museum on the sidewalk opposite, at 14 rue Verneuil. Inside the Parisian home, “in small groups, visitors with geolocated headsets move around the two floors of the house”, can we read on the project’s online site.
“A sound immersion of about thirty minutes during which the public wanders guided by the voice of Charlotte Gainsbourg, which, step by step, echoes the memories and anecdotes linked to her father and the house of her childhood”. The Gainsbourg house will also have a large collection of more than 25,000 objects that belonged to Jane Birkin’s ex-companion, as well as a piano-bar café and a bookstore-boutique.
Asked by BFM TV, actress and singer Charlotte Gainsbourg did not hide her impatience at the idea of unveiling this project. “It’s an emotion that I will share, and usually I don’t share my intimate emotions at all,” she explained, adding. “I have to prepare myself a little bit. I’m very happy, and at the same time very nervous”. While the Maison Gainsbourg ticket office is open this Tuesday, April 4, Planet invites you to take a look at the famous artist’s home in our slideshow.
