The Musée Rodin, opened in 1919, is a museum primarily dedicated to the works of French sculptor Auguste Rodin. The Museum’s main site is at the Hôtel Biron, in central Paris, where Rodin used to use as a workshop. A second centre was established at the artist’s old home Villa des Brillants at Meudon.

The Musée Rodin famously houses Rodin’s most famous pieces, including The Thinker , The Kiss and The Gates of Hell . The gallery is much appreciated and draws a great number of visitors every day, so we recommend [booking your entries for the Musée Rodin here]( https://www.getyourguide.com/musee-rodin-l3227/paris-rodin-museum-entrance-ticket-t384480/?partner_id=IG4VKS7&utm_medium=online_publisher&placement=content-top&cmp=Inline to avoid long queues at the entrance.

Even if a great number of pieces are by Rodin himself, the works included are also from the artist’s personal collection. There are several pieces by Van Gogh, Monet, Renoir, and Claudel to name a few.

The monumental collection is spread both inside the Hôtel Biron and outside, in its gardens. The total count amounts to an impressive 6,600 sculptures in various materials, 8,000 drawings, 8,000 photographs and 7,000 other artefacts.
