Hôtel Biron, Private mansion in Invalides, France
The Hôtel Biron features three hectares of grounds with French-style gardens, large bay windows, and a monumental staircase in the Cantor Hall.
Built between 1727 and 1732 by architect Jean Aubert, the mansion transformed from a private residence to a boarding school before becoming the Musée Rodin in 1919.
The museum displays Auguste Rodin's sculptures throughout eighteen rooms, including The Kiss, The Thinker, and works by Camille Claudel in Room 16.
Located at 77 rue de Varenne in Paris, the museum presents sculptures in settings that benefit from natural light through large windows.
The mansion stands independently without shared walls, unlike other buildings of its time, and maintained its original exterior structure through centuries.
