- Artyom FedosovJuly 27, 2016Must visit place. Don't miss the garden, it's wonderful too.Upvoted Sep 28
Lux LaCroixAugust 22, 2014This is an amazing museum! I guess there are two options: just the garden or garden and museum. Go for the full package. You won't be disappointed. Also it's part of the Museum Pass.Upvoted 1 week ago
Journey City GuidesApril 28, 2016A beautiful and recently refurbished museum with a quiet garden and café dotted with Rodin sculptures. A perfect place for a summer afternoon
Lisa StarbucksAugust 4, 2018Love the garden and the building. I like Rodin but the most iconic items are in the garden! So just enjoy 🚶🏻♀️🚶🏼♂️ through the house.
ef tOctober 6, 2019Beautiful and small museum. The garden is also amazing and you can enjoy your coffee or meal at the little Cafe in the garden
Melissa CullensMarch 21, 2013The sculptures are amazing & don't miss the garden behind the museum. It's very normal for Parisians to sleep in a lawn chair whenever they are comfortable. I fit right in a took the best 20 min nap.
Jeffrey GlueckApril 21, 2019The kiss sculpture inside the house is based on two doomed lovers (adulterers) from Dante's inferno. So it's a hell of a good kiss, as they say.
Aileen PosadasFebruary 19, 2017The museum is not huge, I suggest starting with it and then go to the garden,it is beautiful! Try to go in the afternoon, before they close is less crowded.
Stacy Bo BacyApril 29, 2019This museum was a bit underwhelming for me. Nice to see an entire room dedicated to Camille Claudel, his mistress, a very talented sculptor who died a sad death in relative obscurity.
MikeAugust 23, 2015Must see statue garden, his famous "Le Penseur" alone is worth the price of admission, the rest a tour through his artistic development and inner torment.
Otel.comOctober 17, 2011Located in the Hôtel Biron (where Rodin used as a workshop), is a must-visit for lovers of sculpture. This place is home to the famous The Thinker and The Kiss) Opens at 10am daily. Closed on Mondays.
Elizabeth LeeDecember 1, 2014Must see: the Thinker, Balzac, Gates of Hell and the Kiss. The gardens are wonderful to explore Rodin's sculptures too. Paris has more museums than just the Lourve.
Dan KubiskeMarch 25, 2016The museum art is spectacular. The gardens are pleasant but for me a bit sterile. Often best to buy Robin ticket with other museum. Save time on line and money.
hooeyspewer .June 8, 2013Bring a sketchbook or reading material and take a seat on one of the many benches or lawn chairs in the garden to enjoy the day in Paris. Quiet oasis in the city.
Paris on DemandAugust 25, 2011A bucolic stroll in Rodin's footsteps. Sculptures of Rodin are of course on display but you'll get to admire pieces of arts by Camille Claudel, Monnet or Van Gogh. A must-see in Paris! Read more
Jeremy FisherJune 23, 2014I love Rodin, and this museum, housed in his former atelier, features a great collection of his work. The attached gardens is a great place for a picnic
Carmen HillebrandJuly 7, 2013One of the best museums in town! The garden is a haven of peace with great art: The thinker and hell's gate! Not to mention "le baiser".
Evan CohenAugust 2, 2011Come on, you gotta see at least 1 museum while in Paris. This is a good one - beautiful setting and grounds, in and out in an hour.
New York HabitatMarch 22, 2012Beautiful museum where you can see the first cast of Rodin’s famous sculpture The Thinker! Bring some food to enjoy a lovely picnic in the garden.
JMay 29, 2016Great museum, best enjoyed on a sunny day as many of the sculptures are outside in the garden.
#AsH NBRJune 29, 2017Perfect,it's worth i 2 visit especially the Thinker& Kiss sculpture.the security guy on second floor is extremely rude not tourism originated!he's was shouting like crazy seems under drugs or alcohol
Priscilla @shescookinMarch 25, 2016The sculptures in the garden are stunning! Beautiful any time of year!
- Carmen LawrenceJuly 21, 2017Beautiful garden and art, including in the garden. Lovely cafe under shady trees. A great deal more than just the Thinker and the Kiss!
Gio AkhAugust 12, 2014I visited it in December and it was beautiful. I image what it's like in Spring or Summer. Would like to go again
Paris PerfectOctober 13, 2011Rodin's sculptures that come alive at this smaller museum, which used to be his home. The grounds surrounding the museum are truly spectacular so be sure to take a picnic.
Sophie ThiebautAugust 26, 2014Lovely museum. Don't forget to pay attention to the statues of Camille Claudel, they're fragile and astonishing.
Karen MeenanOctober 3, 2014So peaceful to stroll around through the gardens outside the house. Nice break from the noise of the city.
MyDameMarch 11, 2011Mon endroit favori et surtout le baiser, la sculpture magnifique et intemporelle. Check the garden for a romantic stroll leading to the Kiss, this timeless bronze sculpture from Rodin himself.
Joanna FlammOctober 9, 2012The rest of the museum is cool, but if I went again I'd pay just for garden entrance, which is only one Euro. From there, see some of Rodin's most famous works, including The Thinker.
Epic AnthusDecember 15, 2010Any person working on the human body (physically or artistically) should visit the museum. Furthermore, I ate a delicious banana pancake at the cafeteria, and the guard of the park is an extremely ecc
Murat ŞamlıNovember 10, 2019Bahçesi inanılmaz ve heykeller sanki konuşuyor gibiler.The garden is awesome and sculptures are talking
Ira KatesOctober 7, 2012Come and enjoy the great mind of Rodin. This is one of the best museum in Paris
EffieSeptember 16, 2014Made to this marvelous place at the last minute... But seeing "the Thinker" left me absolutely speechless. Garden, a beauty.
Hans-Henrik T Ohlsen (SU9)March 6, 2012Largely overlooked by tourists this is THE place to get (re)acquainted with Rodin and maybe sit a bit by The Thinker in the garden, contemplating?
Amalia IonelaSeptember 25, 2013Nice museum and nice sculptures. You should visit the garden during the night opening :)
Leah RaddishApril 17, 2015On a nice day check out the sculpture garden for only 2 euros. A bronze of the Thinker is there.
Daniel SchierbeckAugust 20, 2014In addition to the statues by Rodin, you'll also find paintings by van Gogh and Munch!
Fernanda SampaioJuly 1, 2015Good for chilling. Enjoy the free entrance on the first Sunday of the month.
Matt RosenbergApril 15, 2013Rodin's tomb is underneath The Thinker. Check out 'Hell's Gate' & 'The 3 Shades' while you're in the gardens. Very impressive.
Hareesh NuthiOctober 18, 2014First Sunday of month it's free. However go early around 10 otherwise end up in queue lasting 45 minutes to enter the museum main building
