Musée Rodin
6
The lovely Musée Rodin is the most romantic of Paris' museums. Auguste
Rodin's former workshop and showroom, the 1730-built Hôtel Biron, is filled
with Rodin's own sculptural masterpieces such as the marble monument to love,
The Kiss,
as well as creations by his protégé, sculptor Camille Claudel, and other
artists whose works Rodin collected, Van Gogh and Renoir among them. But the
real treat is the mansion's rambling, rose-scented sculpture garden, which provides
an entrancing setting for contemplating works such as
The Thinker
