The Rodin Museum unveils itself by night... To mark the 19th Nuit des Musées, the Musée Rodin invites you to free evening visits this Saturday, May 13, 2023. The museum is located in the heart of theHôtel Biron, a private mansion in the 7th arrondissement built in 1732 by architect Jean Aubert, and chosen by the artist himself to house his museum.
The mansion also includes a large formal garden, which houses part of the museum's collection, created thanks to Rodin's donation to the French state in 1916. The mansion had been discovered in a state of near-abandonment in 1908. The artist bought it and rented the four rooms on the first floor, before occupying the entire building from 1911 onwards.
The museum reveals Rodin's entire oeuvre in 18 rooms, through clay sketches, plaster casts, bronze sculptures and marbles, showing the evolution of the artist's work throughout his career. The Bronze Age, The Kiss, The Thinker... All works as famous as their creator are on display in the permanent collections. It's also worth noting that the last rooms house works by Camille Claudel, reminding us of the importance of the link between the two artists.
All in all, a wonderful visit to make for the occasion!
