Rodin Museum in Paris

The Paris Rodin Museum (Musee Rodin in French) is housed in a lovely 18th century private palace, very close to the Invalides military hospital in Paris. It displays a large first class collection of Rodin's sculpture.

Auguste Rodin was a French sculptor and lived during the 19th century. He brought freshness and vigor to the very academic art of that time.

Among his many great works displayed in the museum, the hell's gates, the Calais burgers (right) and the thinker are stunning pieces of art.
