About
The Musée Rodin is a museum in Paris dedicated to the works of the sculptor Auguste Rodin. It stands at 77 Rue de Varenne in the 7th arrondissement, on the Left Bank, and is also known as the Rodin Museum.
What you will see
The collection brings together Rodin's sculptures, and two of his best-known works are among them: The Thinker and The Kiss. Visitors come to see these pieces up close and to follow the artist's work across the rooms of the museum.
The setting
The works are shown in an 18th-century mansion, whose architecture makes a quiet backdrop for the sculpture. Outside, the sculpture gardens offer a second way to see the works, with figures placed among trees and open lawns. Many visitors find that moving between the indoor galleries and the gardens gives the visit its own pace.
