About
The Rodin Museum holds the largest public display of Auguste Rodin's work outside of Paris, with over 140 bronzes, marbles, and plasters. It's a small museum but remarkably affordable and accessible, housed in a Beaux-Arts building designed by Paul Cret with a formal French garden by Jacques Gréber. Opened in 1929 as a gift from philanthropist Jules Mastbaum, it drew over 390,000 visitors in its first year.
The museum presents every phase of Rodin's career, including iconic pieces like 'The Thinker.' You can explore the collection at your own pace, and free wifi is available.
