When you talk about sculpture, you think Rodin. The
museum of this great artist of the 19th century is one of
the ‘must see’ spots of the capital. The modern entrance,
remodeled several years ago, and the residence of a wealthy
man of the 18th century give you an interesting contrast.
Other than Rodin’s masterpieces like ‘The Thinker’, ‘The
Gates of Hell’, ‘Monument to the Burghers of Calais’ or ‘The
Kiss’, you can also appreciate the works of the talented
Camille Claudel, who used to be Rodin’s pupil and lover.
This museum not only shows you Rodin’s sculptural talent but
also his talent as sketcher, painter and engraver, which
makes him a complete artist. As he was also an art collector,
you will find some van Gogh, Monet or Renoir, good surprise. |

The garden, with a lot of sculptures, is very
popular, as well. You can enter the garden only for
just one euro per person without visiting the museum.
On sunny days, many Parisians in the neighborhood
come to read or to have some peace and quiet.
