Musée Rodin

The Musée Rodin is an art museum housed in Auguste Rodin's former residence in Meudon, displaying sculptures, drawings, and photographs. The property includes gardens where additional outdoor artworks are displayed throughout the grounds.

The museum was established in 1919, two years after Rodin's death in 1917, following his bequest of the entire collection and property to the French state. This gift preserved his artistic legacy in its original location.

The plaster workshop displays sculptures at different stages of creation, offering direct insight into how Rodin worked. Walking through these spaces, visitors see the actual progression from first ideas to finished pieces.

The museum is accessible by public transport from Paris and features well-marked entrances with accessible areas throughout. Plan to spend enough time in both the indoor galleries and gardens to fully appreciate the artworks without rushing.

A tactile gallery allows visitors to touch resin casts of Rodin's sculptures, creating a hands-on way to understand his three-dimensional works. This interactive section offers a different perspective than viewing from a distance.
