Visitor's Route

Auguste Rodin was much more than a sculptor. The creator of The Thinker was also passionate about painting and photography, and a great collector. That's why you'll be surprised to pass by 25,000 objects or documents during your visit to the Rodin Museum. But before you enter, take the time to appreciate the beautiful architecture of the Hôtel Biron. Once inside, lose yourself in the museum's corridors to better understand how the artist drew his inspiration. Among the many rooms, one is dedicated to Camille Claudel. Some contain works by Renoir, Claude Monet, and Van Gogh.

It is in the fabulous flowered and green park of this mansion that Rodin's major work awaits visitors. In The Thinker, Rodin managed to convey strong emotions, which is very difficult to achieve in a sculpture. The sculpture garden, consisting of a flowerbed and a rose garden, covers 3 hectares. Two thematic routes have been arranged to brighten up the visit, the Garden of Sources and the Garden of Orpheus. The Rodin Museum is easily accessible by metro, RER, and Vélib'. Buy your tickets and meet an extraordinary artist during a visit you won't soon forget.
