The Rodin Museum

Located in the prestigious 7th arrondissement of Paris, the Rodin Museum is one of the most beautiful invitations to artistic discovery and tranquillity in the heart of the capital. With its iconic sculptures, remarkable gardens and historic mansion, this museum is an essential stop for art lovers, but also for travellers seeking authentic Parisian experiences.

Just a few minutes from the Hôtel du Jeu de Paume on Île Saint-Louis, the Rodin Museum fits perfectly into a cultural and refined stay in Paris.

Housed in the sumptuous Hôtel Biron, the Rodin Museum was once the residence of the artist Auguste Rodin himself. Seduced by the elegance of the place, the sculptor set up his studio there in 1908 and lived there until his death in 1917.

Today, this 18th-century building provides an exceptional setting for one of the world's largest collections of sculptures, in an atmosphere that is both intimate and majestic.

• The Rodin Museum houses some of the most famous works in art history. Among them:
• The Thinker, a universal symbol of human reflection
• The Kiss, a masterpiece of sensuality and romanticism
• The Burghers of Calais, a poignant tribute to courage and sacrifice
• The Gates of Hell, a monumental work inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy

These sculptures, exhibited both inside the museum and in the gardens, allow visitors to immerse themselves completely in Rodin's creative universe.

The museum's true gem, the 3-hectare garden offers a unique experience: admiring monumental sculptures as you stroll along leafy paths, with the elegant façades of the Hôtel Biron as a backdrop.

On sunny days, the garden becomes one of the most pleasant places in Paris to stroll, read or simply contemplate art in the open air. A rare luxury in a city as bustling as Paris.

The Rodin Museum is not limited to the works of Auguste Rodin. It also honours Camille Claudel, a sculptor of genius and a major figure in modern art, whose works dialogue with those of Rodin.

Paintings, drawings, photographs and archives complete the visit and offer a more intimate insight into Parisian artistic life at the end of the 19th century.
