My favourite museum in Paris. Been here a couple of times and loved it. Small in size as far as museums go but, amazing metal and marble sculptures of Rodin both inside and outside in the gardens. Gates of Hell one of my personal favourites. The features are so well defined and love the emotions they portray. Check it out if you like sculptures.
Home of beauty and grace. Movements in the stone. Kisses forever. Amazing gardens. Do not lose this museum among others in Paris. You will not regret!
The gardens are gorgeous, truly unique. The staff were really welcoming and friendly! Rodin's main works are impressive, and the entry for people younger than 26 years old is free. The only thing to be aware of is that it is a sculpture museum, a style of art that may not appeal to everyone, and it is REALLY complete in Rodin's works, so it might get repetitive and have tons of less interestimg works. Maybe not a must if you are in Paris for the first time, but worth it for art enthusiasts!
Love love love Musee Rodin. Highly recommend to visit. Worthy for visiting multiple times. You will find his most well known sculptures in the garden. His roses are just beautiful and smelled very sweet.
Beautiful museum space!
A wonderful garden where you can walk, sit, chill and snack while you surround yourself with Rodin s melancholy ladies and his over dramatic male statues. Many dignitaries, a true testament to our patriarchal society.
The museum space is only open to the garden right now.
Very nice museum of sculptures. It has a famous statue called The Thinker. It s a nice mini-palace with different interiors and sculptures in every room. The nearby area is also great for walking and they have a cafe on site. Awesome place for great pictures. I highly recommend this place
One of the nicest museums in Paris.
The visit is pretty straightforward across the chateau and is very convenient.
The gardens offers more space and relaxing opportunities. I highly recommend on getting the audio guide for 6 euro, to really enjoy proper explanation behind every piece.
Visited on a Saturday during covid times, so not much of a line nor visitors.
One of the great, beautiful and exciting museums. Exploring the museum together with the story of Rodin's life moved us very much. We took great pleasure in the exhibits presented. The museum is friendly and comfortable to visit.
Sculpture garden is marvellous, magically curated so that the approach adds a special dimension to the experience of viewing the artworks themselves. It takes special skill to create an unusual encounter with a work as well-known as Rodin's Thinker (those who have been underwhelmed by the statue of the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen know this). Inside the museum, much to see and learn as well. Appreciated the room dedicated to the work of Camille Claudel.
Stunning pieces, beautiful art, place where Rodin lived. Take a walk in the garden; calming, green, with wonderful art pieces, also great for a picnic or just for a walk. Very romantic place! Perfect for couples. Woody Allen shot his "Midnight in Paris" here ( the scene with Carla Bruni). Good place if you want to rest a bit from the city.

Musée Rodin: A Treasure Trove of Auguste Rodin's Masterpieces
Musée Rodin is a museum that has been preserving and showcasing the works of Auguste Rodin since 1919. With two locations, one in Paris and the other in Meudon, Hauts-de-Seine, Musée Rodin is a must-visit destination for art lovers from all over the world.
The museum was established with the aim of preserving and promoting the legacy of Auguste Rodin, one of France's most celebrated sculptors. The collection at Musée Rodin includes more than 6,600 sculptures, 8,000 drawings, and 7,000 photographs that showcase the artist's creative genius.
The main site of Musée Rodin is located in Hôtel Biron on Rue de Varenne in Paris' seventh arrondissement. The building itself is an architectural masterpiece that dates back to the early eighteenth century. It was once home to several famous artists before being converted into a museum.
Visitors to Hôtel Biron can explore several rooms filled with sculptures by Auguste Rodin as well as works by his contemporaries such as Camille Claudel. Some of his most famous pieces on display include "The Thinker," "The Kiss," "Eternal Springtime," and "Adam."
In addition to its permanent collection, Musée Rodin also hosts temporary exhibitions throughout the year that showcase different aspects of Auguste Rodin's life and work. These exhibitions are curated by experts in their respective fields and offer visitors a unique insight into this great artist's creative process.
Another location for Musée Rodin is Villa des Brillants located in Meudon near Paris which was once home to Auguste himself during his later years until he passed away there in 1917. This villa has been preserved exactly how it was when he lived there including his studio where he created some of his most iconic pieces like “Balzac” or “Monument à Victor Hugo”.
Apart from its impressive collection and exhibitions showcasing some rare masterpieces from one-of-a-kind artist like him , what sets MuséeRod apart from other museums is its beautiful gardens surrounding both sites which are open for visitors free-of-charge . These gardens feature many sculptures by Auguste himself along with other contemporary artists making it an ideal place for art enthusiasts who want to enjoy nature while admiring great artworks at same time .
