- Peter TTamworth, United Kingdom1,063 contributionsGreat museumReally enjoyed this museum. I would not call it a must do, but on a nice day the gardens are well worth a walk around with the thinker and other fine statues to enjoy. Inside of the house you get a walk through the journey and life of Rodin's work. Its well worth going to see. We did a double ticket with Musee d'Orsay and walked between the two - great value.Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 22 October 2023
- Wayne WVictoria, Canada29 contributionsRhodin’s masterpieces beautifully displayed inside and outsideThe Musee Rhodin in the Hotel Biron exhibits the iconic works of the master sculptor both throughout the lovely gardens and within the classic mansion where he once lived. Located in the heart of Paris it is a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the city and houses the world famous “Thinker” ( Le Penseur ) in the garden along with a gift shop with many replicas in various sizes. Well worth a few hours time.Visited November 2022Travelled as a coupleWritten 23 October 2023
- EdgarCossetBrooklyn, New York1,779 contributionsWell worth a visit!What a surprise! The images of Rodin are so popularized in schmaltzy ways that I have never visited this museum. But for my son having read an excellent biography of the artist, it was top of his list. And he was right. The tree-lined grounds and atelier/house are a refuge of peacefulness that show the iconic pieces to stunning and poignant and, yes, private advantage. All the great works are there, many in later castings as is well-known. But the ensemble and preliminary sketches of The Burghers of Calais are reason enough to visit. An added benefit is that the crowds were small; the untimed tickets turn out to be convenient. I came away convinced.Visited October 2023Travelled with familyWritten 16 November 2023

It's a great place to experience the culture of Paris and learn about the works of the legendary French sculptor Auguste Rodin. The museum is well-maintained and the staff is friendly and helpful.

- Jack LOrne, France195 contributionsUnmissable!If you are a lover of sculpture, then you will not want to miss Musée Rodin. It’s more than worth the visit to see Rodin’s designs, models and paintings as it is to see his finished—and well known—pieces. This visitor was not aware of how many of Rodin’s sculptures originated in his La Porte de l’Enfer—particularly Le Penseur. If time allows, visit the museum on a dry day as so many of Rodin’s bronzes are in the surrounding gardens. Not to go unmentioned are the works by Rodin’s student, inspiration and lover, Camille Claudel. She was much misunderstood in her life, largely because she was a woman in a “man’s” profession, but I found her work equal to her teacher’s. In many ways her work is more fluid than that of Rodin. I was particularly impressed by her L’Âge mûr or, as I like to translate it, Ripe Old Age. Nuff’ said. The works of Rodin and Claudel make for a fascinating and rewarding visit.Visited March 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 6 March 2024

- Otwoma726 contributionsBeautiful Museum and groundsAfter the crazy dangerous crowds at the Louvre, the Rodin museum was a delight. There were a couple hundred people but they were spread between the gardens and house. Although I am familiar with Rodin I didn’t know he was also a collector. He had a nice Munch, and two Van Gogh’s among other sculptures and antiques. The house overlooks the garden and it is a lovely setting. We stopped for a drink at the end of our visit and passed on the food as it looked like cafeteria food. Highly recommend!Visited April 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 20 April 2024

There are a couple of different elements to the Rodin Museum experience: the Rodin collection, a temporary exhibition hall, and the Sculpture Garden. You can easily and leisurely enjoy all of these in about an hour and a half, but if it's a particularly nice day outside, I would recommend enjoying the peacefulness of the Sculpture Garden. We visited on a lovely spring day this past April, which made the garden all the more enjoyable. I also recommend attempting to recreate some of the poses of the sculptures to see how Rodin played with the intricate movements of the human body; it's not as easy as you may think! This museum was covered in our Paris Museum Pass, making admission lines and costs one less thing to worry about; highly recommend this mode of visit!

A wonderful visit to the museum and garden exploring the history of Rodin and L'Hotel Brion. Historical knowledge on the place and artistic evolution of Rodin. Walking the garden and spending a bit of dejeuner at the outdoor cafe sparked conversation and pleasantries with other patrons. A must visit if you can! NOTE: This also paired with Musee d'Orsay. Check museum ticket options, you might get a bonus to visit other places without additional costs. :D

I got easy, fast access with the Paris Museum Pass, but there were not too many people at roughly 10 am when I arrived. A building with artwork and a beautiful garden with statues and the Gates of Hell are found in this museum site. The tour inside the house does not take too long, but it is really an awesome exhibition of the artist’s masterpieces, and others’. The house itself offers a nice architecture style. Statues and other works are at sight in the beautiful garden, where a nice fountain and colorful flowers are found, too. Lunch time: At noon I went to the restaurant found in site; normally, I prefer to go to a regular restaurant out on the street, but to save some time, and watching the food exhibited, I decided to try this one. I had a chicken salad and a dessert for E$XX and it was pretty good, so tasty that I felt finally satisfied. Toilettes are found in the main house and at the reception area; the later is much less busy than the former one. There is a store in place.

The main attraction in this area is the famous Invalides palace and museum, so many tourists oversee this marvel.
This was also my case, as I was some 7,8 times in Paris and never visited it until now. That's why we bought our Museum pass which also includes this museum.
The house, gardens around and exhibitions are so beautiful, and best of all you admire them in peace. Forget the crowds from Louvre, Orsay, Pantheon and other prime attractions.
The museum is not that big, so it wont take much of your time and you'll enjoy famous Rodin sculptures such as The Thinker and Gates of Hell.

We walked here and it was worth the stride, we arrived later in the day, google said shuts at 6:30, at entry and 4:45 told shuts 5:30 then told they clear you out at 5:15 so not much time but so worth it. Rodin’s sculpture is amazing, he changed the world to expressing rather than just realism in his work. It was so good to see the kiss and the fates of hell in the garden, and the thinker of course. Added bonus is the Barbara Hepworth exhibition which was so good as well.

This is one of the most beautiful museums in Paris. White the purchase of your ticket you have access to the garden and the Hotel Biron where the exhibit pieces are held. One of Auguste Rodin's most famous pieces is here the statue of "The Thinker."
Composed of an 18th-century mansion (Hotel Biron) and a sculpture garden of almost three hectares, the museum houses the sculptures of Rodin. The perfect harmony of the sculpture garden and the charm of the rockery architecture of its Hotel Biron will make your visit a unique moment of your stay in Paris.
Entrance ticket price: 12€ and closed on Mondays.
**Free (permanent collections and garden only) on the first Sunday of each month, from October 1 to March 31.**
If you looking to make a list of museums to visit this is a must. I would highly recommend it. One of m favorite places in Paris.

Spent a few hours here viewing both the sculpture garden and the first floor of the mansion. The Gates of Hell was amazing, and the thinker was pretty cool, especially outside. Inside the work was presented fairly logically, but I was glad I read Rick Steve's review / guide to this museum in his book on Paris. Also the Audio Guide was helpful in explaining various aspects of the sculptures.

One of the many museums well worth experiencing. Buy your entrance ticket (and audio ticket, which I highly recommend) online and in advance. Currently it can be used anytime within the year, at your convenience. The audio is well done and provides a great deal of perspective on Rodin's life, relationships, and how his work evolved through the years. Plan to go when the weather is nice so you can enjoy wandering the lovely sculpture gardens and relax for lunch or a drink at the outdoor cafe. There are many benches around to sit and take in your surroundings, to read or rest your feet. GR Codes are a must to enter museums and most other activities and restaurants, be prepared to show it as it will be scanned for entry.

You have SO many museum options in Paris and after a while they all start to blend together. Rodin has some unique statues, and the grounds/gardens are just beautiful. I've been in September when it was all still green and flowers were everywhere and then again in late November and the fall foliage was gorgeous. You get more than just the art on display when visiting here!

If you buy the combined D'Orsay + Rodin ticket can you go to the D'Orsay any time without quing? Even on Thursday evening, the late opening? The website says something like that. I will not have time for queing.
Written 12 April 2023
The que for D'Orsay was not too bad. I would say to go there earlier in the day since it does get more crowded. It has an incredible collection and more enjoyable than the craziness of the Louvre. The Rodin has no que and also a fantastic collection. It takes much less time to see than D'Orsay.
Written 1 May 2023
Do you need to make a timed reservation at the Rodin if you have a Paris Museum Pass? The d’Orsay’s site you don’t need to there, you can skip line without reserving at a certain time, but I don’t see anything on the Rodin site saying either way.
Written 5 February 2022
Hi Kronie10, I visited the museum a few months ago, booking through the website as part of a joint ticket with the Picasso Museum. When I booked, I didn't have to choose a time. I think as long as you have a ticket, you'll be able to enter the museum straight away. Any queue to get in is likely for those who haven't pre-bought a ticket but the museum is already busy.

We had the hotel concierge purchase our tickets each morning. Both of these are smaller museums. They are great museums! However they don’t get the same crowds as The Louvre or Monet Gardens.

What are the crowds like here in mid-June? Are there long lines to get in?
Written 21 June 2019
Don’t recall seeing lines for the museum as I stay near it & passed it several times daily. However i was there in late May this year & early October in Autumn. I agree w/ above reviewers comments too. This museum has great garden & Cafe area. You should then walk to Rue Cler and eat @ Le Petit Cler. Also recommend Picasso museum early in morning & hang in Marais district. Go early to Picasso & enjoy MarAis district. Lastly I just discover this cool area in the 19th that was my favorite part of Paris. Not touristy, very cool. You can contact me through Trip Advisor if you want exact location and restaurant info. Enjoy your trip. Paris gets crowded but if you go off beaten path it’s much more enjoyable.

On the website, they say you cannot carry backpacks into the museum or store them in the cloakroom. Does this mean that you can't visit the museum if you have a backpack?

We had small daypacks, and I don't believe that we had to check them at the Rodin. We did have to check at other museums, like the Picasso.
