It is a house that has become a museum. Or a museum turned home, it depends. Serge Gainsbourg’s house, located on 5th rue Vernoy, has always been a veritable cabinet of curiosities, containing a thousand and one objects. Until now, it has been turned into a museum that will open its doors on September 20, Charlotte Gainsbourg spoke about these objects belonging to her father and told France 2 about the impossibility of touching the sacred piano of the house.
The piano or artist symbol

“That was really the subject of his work,” he explained. “I started playing the piano at the age of 9, when my parents divorced, he was very proud (…) that I learned, but I had the right to play the piano directly.” Becoming a singer in her turn, the 52-year-old artist, however, never went beyond this barrier.
