Rodin Museum

The Rodin Museum is an art museum in Pennsylvania dedicated to the work of a single French sculptor, featuring indoor galleries and a formal garden. The collection presents bronze and marble sculptures displayed in interior rooms and outdoor areas with reflecting pools and walkways.

A Philadelphia collector began acquiring works by the French sculptor in the 1920s and commissioned architects to design a dedicated building. The museum opened its doors in the late 1920s and has housed the collection ever since.

The museum takes its name from the French sculptor whose work fills its galleries and garden spaces. Visitors walk through rooms and outdoor areas where bronze and stone figures show human emotion and physical forms.

Entry is free but donations are suggested to support the collection and its care. Parking options include spaces at a nearby museum building and metered street parking along the parkway.

The institution holds the largest assembly of these sculptures outside the artist's home country. Nearly 150 individual pieces remain on permanent display, including rare early versions of well-known works.
