Just GORGEOUS! Surrounded by beauty, everywhere you turn. Must see! Touring the gardens was my favorite part. Seeing The Thinker and The Gates of Hell, in person, just amazing. The walk to and from the Musee Rodin also is awesome. Pass right by Napoleon's tomb.

Definitely worth a visit to see the Thinker and the Gateway to Hell! Sculptures EVERYWHERE on his property.

A beautiful experience in the gardens and house ( old hotel). It is worth finding out why this site holds Rodin's sculptures ( too much to write here). Sculptures and gardens are wonderful and the cafe offers good value for lunch. The gardens very close to Napoleon's tomb and the Military Museum (exceptional) so you can go to the one... More

Lovely small garden. It was great to see some of the greats, Kiss, Thinker, Gates of Hell, and many more. I've seen a lot of Rodin, here you will see a lot of studies and marble. I know where the bronzes are for a lot of the studies but lots I did not would have liked to know. If you... More

Well - you hear about The Thinker and The Gates of Hell, and you see photos of them and then you get to SEE them. And you can't find the words to adequately describe how you feel when you are standing in front of them in the amazing city of Paris. Go to this museum. It is a treasure. Go... More

The Rodin Museum is a must see. A real delight because you see a major body of work plus the Biron Hotel, where he lived. The huge garden is the setting for some of the work and an outdoor cafe. Some work being done but not a problem. Museum pass valid. Just east of Napoleon's tomb.

Lovely gardens and beautiful setting, uncrowded and peaceful. Managed to get in the tour of the house quickly before closing, would have liked to have spent more time there.

I really enjoyed this museum. A good majority of it is outside in the garden, and as such there is not a lot of option if it is really rainy. When it did rain, everyone headed inside the small buildings, which were way too small for the amount of people there. Still outside is a best viewing place for the... More

If you live in a big city or travel a lot you have seen many Rodin's. So, if you have time, see this pleasant museum. If you are short of time, skip it.

We were on the L'Open hop on hop off bus and walked to the museum at their closest stop. We used our Paris Museum pass to enter. There is an exhibition of plaster models in the entrance area. Head outside to see "The Thinker" and other familiar pieces. The gardens are beautiful and many of Rodin's works are along the... More
