Rodin Museum

Musee Rodin, Rodin Museum
France, Paris
The Rodin Museum is an art museum in France, which is the largest collection of works by the French sculptor Auguste Rodin. Opened in 1919.

The museum is located on the Rue de Varenne in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, in the Biron Palace, built in 1727-1732 by the architect Jacques-Ange Gabriel for the financier Abraham Peyrin de Maur. Since 1904, various artists have lived in the building, including O. Rodin (in 1908-1917). Thanks to his influence, the palace was saved from demolition, and in 1916 it was decided to collect Rodin's works here, as well as documents related to his life and work. The museum has over 6,600 sculptures, 8,000 photographs and 7,000 other works of art.

I have not been inside the museum itself, it was closed, but I want to tell you about the garden around the museum. Entrance to the garden is only 1 euro, but you will not regret if you go. It is located in the center of Paris, next to the Les Invalides. It's amazing, but in the garden you don't notice that you are in the very center of a bustling huge city. It's quiet, calm and beautiful. Maybe I was lucky that I got there during the flowering and fragrance of nature. There were very few people, there are many sculptures by Rodin in the garden, including the famous The Thinker and the Gates of Hell.
