"Housed in a beautiful 18th century mansion, close to Les Invalides, but what makes it extra-special is the sculpture garden where you can see his iconic The Thinker, among other masterpieces.
Also, there’s a interesting little back story to this museum. In the early 20th century the mansion became home to the artist. He had initially rented four of the rooms to use as a studio, but had occupied the entire building by 1911. He particularly loved the garden and had placed some of his works amidst its greenery. The building was sold to the French government in 1911 but upon condition that he granted all his sculptures, drawings, as well as his collection of antiquities to the state, it was agreed that he would be allowed to reside there until his death. And in 1916, the house became known as the Musée Rodin. It's always worth a visit. "

"FREE the first Sunday of the month. One of my personal favorite museums in Paris (I know - there are an overwhelming number of museums here!) Rodin focuses on sculptures. Half the museum is outside, so definitely go when it's nice out. From the outdoor garden part of the museum, you have a nice view of the Eiffel Tower. Overall, this museum is also quite small which makes it nice and manageable.
Closed on Mondays.
It can be quite warm inside the museum. I’m a little slow at museums and the inside part took me 40 min.
Tix are 14€ for adults, 25€ of you combine it with a ticket for the d’Orsay."
