For those who don't know, Rodin was one France greatest and most innovative sculptors. The museum is a bit small so it doesn't do full justice to his works. However the garden at the back offers several more pieces and is very pleasant to visit.

The collection of Rodin's sculpture is set in both a gallery and a very beautiful, peaceful garden. The Musée was opened in 1919, dedicated to the works of the French sculptor Auguste Rodin. The Musée contains some of Rodin's significant creations, including The Thinker, The Kiss, The Three Shadows, and The Gates of Hell. The gardens around the museum building... More

The collection of scupture is breathtaking and set in both a gallery and very beautiful, peaceful gardens. It's a quiet retreat from the bustling city. Rodin's greates pieces: The Thinker, Gates of Hell, and Three shadows are displayed to great effect in the gardens.

if you love Rodin's work, this will be heaven for you. if you don't, it's still a lovely place and you can sit and relax in the garden whilst your art-loving friend wonders at the sculptures! worth a visit.

Then there is such a lot to see in the house and gardens, we were there all morning and stayed for lunch in the café situated in the gardens. The gardens are beautifully maintained and it does not look odd to have Rodin's... More

This was the one attraction that my traveling companion said we had to visit while in Paris. I would recommend visiting on a nice day because wandering the gardens are a major part of the experience. I loved seeing all of the sculptures in the gardens - it was so enjoyable wandering around. Inside the house was a totally different... More

I loved this Museum. It is quite small and intimate and you get very close to the sculpture. You are able to take photos freely without and hassle that gets a big thumbs up from me.
