A standout family program at the Rodin Museum in Meudon for Heritage Days 2026.

The Rodin Museum in Meudon invites the public, during Heritage Days, to discover its treasures and collections free of charge on September 19 and 20, 2026, with a family-friendly program.

This year again, the Musée Rodin de Meudon welcomes us to celebrate the 43rd edition of the Journées du Patrimoine: on the weekend of Saturday, September 19 and Sunday, September 20 2026, the renowned sculpture museum unveils its program for all art lovers.

It's an opportunity to (re)discover the different areas of the museum, from the studio to the plaster gallery. In this illuminated gallery, you can admire the strange tool Rodin used to enlarge his most famous sculptures: the pantograph. This not-to-be-missed cultural event will take you deep into the world of this major French sculptor.

House of Workshops, Plaster Gallery, Antique Workshop, the villa park: discover each of the museum's spaces along the route, and take part in hands-on activities organized especially for budding artists and seasoned makers alike. The museum invites visitors to freely enjoy the beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces of the venue, and to share memorable moments with family during these Heritage Days.
