Musée Rodin

Musee Rodin is a fascinating museum in France dedicated to the French sculptor Auguste Rodin. This museum, housed in a historic structure, boasts exquisite décor and vast halls, with over 8000 paintings, 6600 sculptures, and 7000 items of art on show. Furthermore, the location has an extraordinary repository of almost 80000 antique pictures. The Musee Rodin also features a special gallery for Camille Claudel's art. Musee Rodin is one of the greatest tourist attractions in Paris, surrounded by a lush garden and a small lake.

Rodin used the Hôtel Biron as his workshop from 1908 while living in the Villa des Brilliants, and later donated his entire collection of sculptures – as well as paintings by Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir that he had acquired – to the French State on the condition that the buildings be turned into a museum dedicated to his works. The Thinker, The Kiss, and The Gates of Hell are among the works of Rodin that may be found in the Musée Rodin. The museum's vast garden houses several of his sculptures. The museum has a chamber dedicated to Camille Claudel's art, as well as one of The Mature Age's two casts.
