Missed this on our first visit to Paris. Saw it today on what suspect passes for a beautiful day in early Spring day.....sunny, 60s, no wind. The park with the sculptures is just starting to show colors with spring flowers. Fantastic to see the masterpieces. Gates of Hell with the weird music was really something! Add it to your bucket...

Ever been to a museum where there are both exterior and interior exhibits? No? Then the Musee Rodin is for you! You can enjoy various sculptures and statues made by Rodin himself, paraded throughout the museum. Although, I would say, the ones outside (The Thinker, The Gates of Hell, etc) are much more interesting than the ones inside. But to... More

It's a nice place to go; of course you'll see some great sculptures from this great artist, and the famous "thinker" (actualy is one of the 9 copies spread around the world), and it's all exposed in an open air garden, so it's a nice place to walk... but the collection itself is small; I wouldn't spend more then one...

The best in Paris, small and intiment, you can get right up up to the bronzes. Don't miss it, it has beautiful gardens and interior.

Just GORGEOUS! Surrounded by beauty, everywhere you turn. Must see! Touring the gardens was my favorite part. Seeing The Thinker and The Gates of Hell, in person, just amazing. The walk to and from the Musee Rodin also is awesome. Pass right by Napoleon's tomb.

Definitely worth a visit to see the Thinker and the Gateway to Hell! Sculptures EVERYWHERE on his property.

A beautiful experience in the gardens and house ( old hotel). It is worth finding out why this site holds Rodin's sculptures ( too much to write here). Sculptures and gardens are wonderful and the cafe offers good value for lunch. The gardens very close to Napoleon's tomb and the Military Museum (exceptional) so you can go to the one... More

Lovely small garden. It was great to see some of the greats, Kiss, Thinker, Gates of Hell, and many more. I've seen a lot of Rodin, here you will see a lot of studies and marble. I know where the bronzes are for a lot of the studies but lots I did not would have liked to know. If you... More

Well - you hear about The Thinker and The Gates of Hell, and you see photos of them and then you get to SEE them. And you can't find the words to adequately describe how you feel when you are standing in front of them in the amazing city of Paris. Go to this museum. It is a treasure. Go... More

The Rodin Museum is a must see. A real delight because you see a major body of work plus the Biron Hotel, where he lived. The huge garden is the setting for some of the work and an outdoor cafe. Some work being done but not a problem. Museum pass valid. Just east of Napoleon's tomb.
