Overview of your Paris tour:

"The Rodin Museum, my favourite museum" A place of rare harmony, the Rodin Museum has the particularity of being installed in a dwelling chosen by the artist. This delightful rocaille-style mansion was discovered by Rodin in 1908 where he lived until his death, in 1916. Bathed in light thanks to the large bay windows overlooking the immense garden, the 18 rooms along the path welcome clay sketches, plaster casts, and bronze or marble sculptures showing the artist's evolution throughout his life. In the heart of the 7th arrondissement and a stone's throw from the Invalides, this quiet museum will allow us to discover the creative process of the artist and the genesis of his works through a well-detailed chronological journey inside the mansion and the garden where Rodin, in his time, already displayed his sculptures.

Your Paris tour itinerary

We will dive into the artist's privileged themes: the sensuality of forms, the exploration of new postures, the innovative creative processes, the hazardous composition of pieces, and the compositional freedom. We will focus on: - The beginnings of the artist and his paintings - The Bronze Age exhibited in a marvelous rotunda room decorated with 18th-century woodwork - The Kiss and the story of the creation of the Hell's Gate - The Thinker and the Walking Man - The premises of his relationship with Camille Claudel - His public sculptures - The relationship with the painter Eugène Carriere - Rodin collector - and many others. . . We will finish with a visit to the garden where its bronzes are displayed between flowery paths and where, weather permitting, you can end your visit with lunch or a coffee in the garden restaurant. Depending on the weather conditions, we can spend more time in the garden, or start in the garden and finish inside the museum. In the winter, the garden closes at 5 pm.
