First opened in 1919, the musée Rodin is housed in a beautiful private mansion called “hôtel Biron” built between 1727 and 1732. Nearly 300 works of Rodin are presented in this classical architecture’s mansion with rocaille details.
The mansion also has a sculpture garden of 300 hectares. Many works of Rodin, among which The Burghers of Calais, The Door of Hell, or The Thinker take place today in the garden of sculptures.
