Open since 1998, the Maisons Satie are a homage to the musician and composer Erik Satie (1866-1925) who was born in Honfleur. He collaborated with Picasso, Picabia, Braque, Cocteau and René Clair and influenced such composers as Debussy, Ravel and Stravinsky. The museum is a liberally inspired view of the man and the visitor listens to his music on headphones as he or she drifts through the displays; the pear with wings represents his soul flying away. This is quite an experience.
