Paris Trip Overview
Enjoy a tour of the Musée Rodin with a private guide with skip-the-line access to this popular attraction of Paris.
In 1916, a year before his death, Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) bequeathed all his works and possessions to the French state which, in exchange, purchased the Hôtel Biron and committed to turning it into a museum dedicated to the artist. The Paris site opened to the public in 1919, the Meudon site in 1948. The artist’s bequest was the founding act of the Musée Rodin, perpetuating the special bond between a prime location in one of the loveliest gardens in Paris and the work of the most illustrious sculptor of his day.
The molds and models he bequeathed are used to produce original bronze casts, allowing his work to be disseminated worldwide.
