Chacun d'entre nous possède quelque chose qui lui est cher car lié à son histoire personnelle. Ainsi en est-il pour moi de la cuillère "Feuille d'absinthe n° 1".
Première cuillère trouvée sur une brocante, c'est elle qui a déterminé ma passion d'artémisophile. À partir de là, j'ai beaucoup couru puces et brocantes à la recherche d'autres modèles puis finalement de tout ce qui avait trait à l'absinthe..... (Marie-Claude Delahaye)
Marie-Claude Delahaye is a lecturer in cellular biology at the University Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris. She found her first absinthe spoon in 1981 and was immediately transformed by the “Green Fairy”. Having spent entire days in libraries researching, she became an absinthe historian with the publication of her first book in 1983 -”L'Absinthe – Histoire de la Fée Verte”. Other books followed and have revealed the importante signification of absinthe in the society during the XIXth century, and more particulary the influence it had on art. At the same time, Marie-Claude spent much of her time in antique shops and on markets in view to aquire an impressive collection of souvenirs, etchings, drawings, paintings...
After having organised many exhibitions, Marie-Claude finally created the Musée de l'Absinthe in 1994. The museum is located in Auvers-sur-Oise, France, well-know for it is where Vincent Van Gogh and his brother Theo are burried. Absinthe was the muse of painters and poets during the XIXth century and its true spirit lives again in the Musée de l'Absinthe.
