This museum is a very interesting and artistic mix between modern art, contemporary art, original historic pieces (like documents, letters and objects), music and only lastly: information. It is like walking through a scrapbook of the thoughts and works of the composer.

Artists did a good job capturing the personality of the eccentric, maverick and influential artist Erik Satie in the museum's strange visuals, its off-beat presentation and historical facts and artifacts in a very unconventional way. The visitor is shown and told (partly using a clever audio guide system that activates when pointing at something) fragments of the lifetime of the composer while walking through a surreal set of chambers, each filled with all sorts of art, original pieces and of course: Satie's music. Some highlights are: a peculiar collection of umbrellas and unopened letters, a room with a host of original manuscripts and artifacts (presented on thin sticks in the middle of a room), a strange merry-go-round contraption that visitors need to physically activate themselves to "encircle the music") and a player piano that plays Satie's three Gnossienes in a minimalistic empty room.

This having been a 'regular' museum would not have done the composer justice, and the artists who created this Maisons Satie museum did an excellent job. It would do the visitor a world of good though, to first look up some information on the life and works of Erik Satie to fully understand the atmosphere of this place, as 'explanation' does not seem to have been the...

Erik Satie was a composer of erudition, wit and affability. None of these apply in any way to the Maisons Satie, an “experience” (the word ‘museum’ is far too generous) located in two houses, in one of which the composer was born in 1867. I was welcomed by a municipal employee whose air of baffled hostility must have required years of practice. The tour of a few bare rooms painted in monochrome colours requires an audio guide (which I dislike on principle). My set was rather dirty, so I didn’t use it. I don’t know what mysteries the audio guide reveals, but there was precious little to appreciate in terms of Satie artefacts or belongings. You are informed (warned?) that the tour lasts an hour. Without the benefit of a greasy, heavy and uncomfortable audio guide, even when stretching it, mine took 20 minutes. The tour ends with an installation, a pedalling music machine called “la machine à émotions”. It could equally have been named “introduction à la sodomie”. I learned that a cinema chain had financed the renovation of the house and creation of this experience. It did indeed feel like a walk-through fright show. Whether you know much or nothing at all about Erik Satie, les Maisons Satie will leave you...

Un très joli moment passé au musée d'Éric Satie à Honfleur. La visite s'est faite hors saison touristique. Attention, l'horaire d'ouverture est bien 10h00 le matin, le changement n'a sensiblement jamais été effectué par les administrateurs. Pour le reste, j'ai beaucoup apprécié la visite de la maison de ce compositeur français atypique, difficilement classable par son côté surréaliste. Un personnage touchant, un "facétieux solitaire" plein d'humour dont la personnalité est retranscrite à merveille par le style du musée. Pour bien connaître le musicien, ayant joué les Gymnopédies et les Gnossiennes, le lieu ne trahi en rien la personnalité fantasque du personnage : ses accointances mystiques, son côté "Caf'Conc" parisien, son humour et son regard espiègle sur lui-même comme sur les autres, mais aussi sa douceur, sa sensibilité - "Satie c'est la tendresse même !" (Germaine Taillefer) - et, je crois, une certaine forme de tristesse intérieure. L'audioguide aide beaucoup à s'immerger ; la voix qu'on prête à Satie et qui l'interprète est d'une redoutable justesse. Reste la question des enfants : musée adapté ? Oui et non. La personnalité de Satie invite à la curiosité et à l'agrément, mais peut-être conseillerais-je aux parents de lire une biographie en amont afin de guider au mieux les questions et la visite de leur enfants pour en décoder et identifier certains aspects (pourquoi la sculpture de poire à l'entrée dès la première salle ? Pourquoi l'omniprésence des parapluies ? Pourquoi des cols blancs partout ? Pourquoi des petits mots dans un faux piano ? Tout cela a précisément ses réponses que le musée évoque sans plus lorsqu'une biographie, même succincte, les apportera) Mieux encore : lier la compréhension biographique à l'écoute, toujours en amont, de quelques morceaux clés (ceux cités plus haut par exemple). Par ce truchement, j'ai facilement eu l'adhésion à ce musée de mes deux enfants de...

Very different museum. The entrance door is very stiff and you need to push down very hard on the handle to get in , tbh we were at the point of giving up when someone opened the door from the inside. We booked a bus called Bee le harve which took us from Le Harve to Honfluer for 19 Euros return, an excellent service and so much cheaper than MSC cruise prices. Some of the automation was not working so we were offered a half price entry. Honfluer is the most beautiful town we have ever visited in France. Wonderful medieval building as is this museum. Many shops museums etc close for lunch 12-2 ish
