    Sculpture Garden
    There are a couple of different elements to the Rodin Museum experience: the Rodin collection, a temporary exhibition hall, and the Sculpture Garden. You can easily and leisurely enjoy all of these in about an hour and a half, but if it's a particularly nice day outside, I would recommend enjoying the peacefulness of the Sculpture Garden. We visited on a lovely spring day this past April, which made the garden all the more enjoyable. I also recommend attempting to recreate some of the poses of the sculptures to see how Rodin played with the intricate movements of the human body; it's not as easy as you may think! This museum was covered in our Paris Museum Pass, making admission lines and costs one less thing to worry about; highly recommend this mode of visit!

    Take time in the garden, too
    A wonderful visit to the museum and garden exploring the history of Rodin and L'Hotel Brion. Historical knowledge on the place and artistic evolution of Rodin. Walking the garden and spending a bit of dejeuner at the outdoor cafe sparked conversation and pleasantries with other patrons. A must visit if you can! NOTE: This also paired with Musee d'Orsay. Check museum ticket options, you might get a bonus to visit other places without additional costs. :D

    Great sculptures
    I got easy, fast access with the Paris Museum Pass, but there were not too many people at roughly 10 am when I arrived. A building with artwork and a beautiful garden with statues and the Gates of Hell are found in this museum site. The tour inside the house does not take too long, but it is really an awesome exhibition of the artist’s masterpieces, and others’. The house itself offers a nice architecture style. Statues and other works are at sight in the beautiful garden, where a nice fountain and colorful flowers are found, too. Lunch time: At noon I went to the restaurant found in site; normally, I prefer to go to a regular restaurant out on the street, but to save some time, and watching the food exhibited, I decided to try this one. I had a chicken salad and a dessert for E$XX and it was pretty good, so tasty that I felt finally satisfied. Toilettes are found in the main house and at the reception area; the later is much less busy than the former one. There is a store in place.

    Relaxed art heaven
    The main attraction in this area is the famous Invalides palace and museum, so many tourists oversee this marvel. This was also my case, as I was some 7,8 times in Paris and never visited it until now. That's why we bought our Museum pass which also includes this museum. The house, gardens around and exhibitions are so beautiful, and best of all you admire them in peace. Forget the crowds from Louvre, Orsay, Pantheon and other prime attractions. The museum is not that big, so it wont take much of your time and you'll enjoy famous Rodin sculptures such as The Thinker and Gates of Hell.

    Perfect day for sculptures in the garden
    It was a beautiful morning and the best light to see Rodin’s sculptures in the garden of the museum. 12 euros to get in teenager was free. Highly recommend this museum, beautifully laid out with a cafe in the gardens and a shop for all things Rodin.

    Not much time but must see
    We walked here and it was worth the stride, we arrived later in the day, google said shuts at 6:30, at entry and 4:45 told shuts 5:30 then told they clear you out at 5:15 so not much time but so worth it. Rodin’s sculpture is amazing, he changed the world to expressing rather than just realism in his work. It was so good to see the kiss and the fates of hell in the garden, and the thinker of course. Added bonus is the Barbara Hepworth exhibition which was so good as well.

    One of the most beautiful musuems
    This is one of the most beautiful museums in Paris. White the purchase of your ticket you have access to the garden and the Hotel Biron where the exhibit pieces are held. One of Auguste Rodin's most famous pieces is here the statue of "The Thinker." Composed of an 18th-century mansion (Hotel Biron) and a sculpture garden of almost three hectares, the museum houses the sculptures of Rodin. The perfect harmony of the sculpture garden and the charm of the rockery architecture of its Hotel Biron will make your visit a unique moment of your stay in Paris. Entrance ticket price: 12€ and closed on Mondays. **Free (permanent collections and garden only) on the first Sunday of each month, from October 1 to March 31.** If you looking to make a list of museums to visit this is a must. I would highly recommend it. One of m favorite places in Paris.

    Very nicely done sculpture museum
    Spent a few hours here viewing both the sculpture garden and the first floor of the mansion. The Gates of Hell was amazing, and the thinker was pretty cool, especially outside. Inside the work was presented fairly logically, but I was glad I read Rick Steve's review / guide to this museum in his book on Paris. Also the Audio Guide was helpful in explaining various aspects of the sculptures.

    Spot can’t be missed!
    One of the many museums well worth experiencing. Buy your entrance ticket (and audio ticket, which I highly recommend) online and in advance. Currently it can be used anytime within the year, at your convenience. The audio is well done and provides a great deal of perspective on Rodin's life, relationships, and how his work evolved through the years. Plan to go when the weather is nice so you can enjoy wandering the lovely sculpture gardens and relax for lunch or a drink at the outdoor cafe. There are many benches around to sit and take in your surroundings, to read or rest your feet. GR Codes are a must to enter museums and most other activities and restaurants, be prepared to show it as it will be scanned for entry.

    Worth being added to your itinerary!
    You have SO many museum options in Paris and after a while they all start to blend together. Rodin has some unique statues, and the grounds/gardens are just beautiful. I've been in September when it was all still green and flowers were everywhere and then again in late November and the fall foliage was gorgeous. You get more than just the art on display when visiting here!

Although other Rodin Museums exist in France and internationally, the Musee Rodin Paris holds an additional "stunning" aura due to the location, formerly named Hotel Biron, being the residence of Rodin.

The exhibition consists of a chronological and somewhat categorical organization of Rodin's works as well as those of his students, most notably Camille Claudel, and paintings by other notable artists that were a part of his collection. I was especially stunned by the scale of these sculptures, many of which I had only seen digitally.

The gardens encompassing the main museum building were small, but especially nice when paired with autumn leaves and the breeze. Many notable works by Rodin, such as the Gates of Hell, the Thinker, Monument to Balzac, and Burghers of Calais were dispersed around the garden. There was a wedding going on at the time of my visit, which slightly interrupted the atmosphere.

A visit to the museum should take around an hour although, like other museums, may be shorter or longer depending on your interest and background in art and history. Booking tickets before your visit is also recommended, as it allows you to skip the ticket queue and almost instantly enter the museum premises. Like other museums in Paris, it is free for all individuals aged 18 or under.

We spent about two hours visiting the museum and surrounding sculpture gardens. The exhibits follow a timeline beginning with his early work and finishing with his public commissions. The museum contains his paintings as well as his clay and plaster models plus a few cast sculptures. It was nice to see the bronze statues in the sculpture garden after seeing the clay or plaster models inside.

Take a pause from the crowded big museums to explore this lovely museum in an 18th century home. We highly recommend the audio guide for more insight to Rodin’s work and life. You’ll spend as much time in the garden as inside.
