Rodin Museum

Comment on Facebook

The Great French sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840 to 1917) brought monumental public sculpture into the 20th century and established a new sculptural freedom which continues to haunt our imaginations. The museum, which opened to the public in 1929, houses 124 sculptures, including bronze casts of the artist's greatest works: The Burghers of Calais, his most heroic and moving historical tribute, and Eternal Springtime, one of the most powerful works dealing with human love.
