In some ways the Musee Rodin was my favorite — the former Hotel Biron where Rodin actually worked, the beautiful gardens full of Rodin’s sculptures, watching people interact with the sculptures — it was all beautiful and fascinating. There’s also an excellent little garden cafe here which was very pleasant. It’s very fortunate that Rodin’s plan to save this place as a museum for his work succeeded — I think he would have been pleased at the result, watching people interact with his sculptures in such a great setting.
The gardens are really stunning, and very enjoyable to wander through and visit with the sculptures.
Even the Gates of Hell become beautiful in the right setting…

I have traveled all over Europe and have yet to visit the museum. Shame on me. Rodin is one of my all time favorites. It will probably seem surreal to me when I get there. Thanks for the pictures.
