Must visit place. Don't miss the garden , it's wonderful too.

Lux LaCroix

This is an amazing museum ! I guess there are two options: just the garden or garden and museum . Go for the full package. You won't be disappointed. Also it's part of the Museum Pass.

Journey City Guides

A beautiful and recently refurbished museum with a quiet garden and café dotted with Rodin sculptures . A perfect place for a summer afternoon

Lisa Starbucks

Love the garden and the building. I like Rodin but the most iconic items are in the garden ! So just enjoy 🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏼‍♂️ through the house.

Beautiful and small museum . The garden is also amazing and you can enjoy your coffee or meal at the little Cafe in the garden

Melissa Cullens

The sculptures are amazing & don't miss the garden behind the museum . It's very normal for Parisians to sleep in a lawn chair whenever they are comfortable . I fit right in a took the best 20 min nap.

Jeffrey Glueck

The kiss sculpture inside the house is based on two doomed lovers (adulterers) from Dante's inferno. So it's a hell of a good kiss, as they say.

Aileen Posadas

The museum is not huge, I suggest starting with it and then go to the garden ,it is beautiful! Try to go in the afternoon, before they close is less crowded .

Stacy Bo Bacy

This museum was a bit underwhelming for me. Nice to see an entire room dedicated to Camille Claudel , his mistress, a very talented sculptor who died a sad death in relative obscurity.

Dan Kubiske

The museum art is spectacular. The gardens are pleasant but for me a bit sterile. Often best to buy Robin ticket with other museum . Save time on line and money.

Mike

Must see statue garden , his famous "Le Penseur" alone is worth the price of admission, the rest a tour through his artistic development and inner torment.

Otel.com

Located in the Hôtel Biron (where Rodin used as a workshop), is a must-visit for lovers of sculpture . This place is home to the famous The Thinker and The Kiss) Opens at 10am daily. Closed on Mondays.

Elizabeth Lee

Must see: the Thinker, Balzac, Gates of Hell and the Kiss. The gardens are wonderful to explore Rodin's sculptures too. Paris has more museums than just the Lourve.

hooeyspewer .

Bring a sketchbook or reading material and take a seat on one of the many benches or lawn chairs in the garden to enjoy the day in Paris. Quiet oasis in the city .

Paris on Demand

A bucolic stroll in Rodin's footsteps. Sculptures of Rodin are of course on display but you'll get to admire pieces of arts by Camille Claudel , Monnet or Van Gogh. A must-see in Paris! Read more

Jeremy Fisher

I love Rodin, and this museum , housed in his former atelier, features a great collection of his work. The attached gardens is a great place for a picnic

Carmen Hillebrand

One of the best museums in town ! The garden is a haven of peace with great art : The thinker and hell's gate! Not to mention "le baiser".

Evan Cohen

Come on, you gotta see at least 1 museum while in Paris. This is a good one - beautiful setting and grounds, in and out in an hour.

New York Habitat

Beautiful museum where you can see the first cast of Rodin’s famous sculpture The Thinker! Bring some food to enjoy a lovely picnic in the garden .

#AsH NBR

Perfect,it's worth i 2 visit especially the Thinker& Kiss sculpture .the security guy on second floor is extremely rude not tourism originated!he's was shouting like crazy seems under drugs or alcohol

J

Great museum , best enjoyed on a sunny day as many of the sculptures are outside in the garden .

Katy Zack

Still one of my favorite museums in Paris with its charming gardens .

Priscilla @shescookin

The sculptures in the garden are stunning! Beautiful any time of year!

Carmen Lawrence

Beautiful garden and art , including in the garden . Lovely cafe under shady trees . A great deal more than just the Thinker and the Kiss!

Gio Akh

I visited it in December and it was beautiful. I image what it's like in Spring or Summer. Would like to go again

Paris Perfect

Rodin's sculptures that come alive at this smaller museum , which used to be his home. The grounds surrounding the museum are truly spectacular so be sure to take a picnic .

Joanna Flamm

The rest of the museum is cool, but if I went again I'd pay just for garden entrance, which is only one Euro. From there, see some of Rodin's most famous works, including The Thinker.

Student

Great exposition , the garden is so beautiful

Sophie Thiebaut

Lovely museum . Don't forget to pay attention to the statues of Camille Claudel , they're fragile and astonishing.

Karen Meenan

So peaceful to stroll around through the gardens outside the house. Nice break from the noise of the city .

IS KLE

Amazing sculpture collection inside the museum and outside in the gardens .

MyDame

Mon endroit favori et surtout le baiser, la sculpture magnifique et intemporelle. Check the garden for a romantic stroll leading to the Kiss, this timeless bronze sculpture from Rodin himself.

Epic Anthus

Any person working on the human body (physically or artistically ) should visit the museum . Furthermore, I ate a delicious banana pancake at the cafeteria , and the guard of the park is an extremely ecc

Murat Şamlı

Bahçesi inanılmaz ve heykeller sanki konuşuyor gibiler.The garden is awesome and sculptures are talking

Ira Kates

Come and enjoy the great mind of Rodin. This is one of the best museum in Paris

Effie

Made to this marvelous place at the last minute... But seeing "the Thinker" left me absolutely speechless. Garden , a beauty.

Nino

The sculptures , the museum and the garden are all amazing and very charming!

Hans-Henrik T Ohlsen (SU9)

Largely overlooked by tourists this is THE place to get (re)acquainted with Rodin and maybe sit a bit by The Thinker in the garden , contemplating?

johnlemon

Go on a good weather day, so you can enjoy the charming garden ♥️

Thas Seth

You can have drinks and food inside or outside in their little cafe .

Amalia Ionela

Nice museum and nice sculptures . You should visit the garden during the night opening :)

Leah Raddish

On a nice day check out the sculpture garden for only 2 euros. A bronze of the Thinker is there.

Najla

I loved the place especially the garden 😍

Daniel Schierbeck

In addition to the statues by Rodin, you'll also find paintings by van Gogh and Munch!

Fernanda Sampaio

Good for chilling. Enjoy the free entrance on the first Sunday of the month.

Maryam Bin Hadher

Lovely garden and Rodins display of great sculptures ♡

Matt Rosenberg

Rodin's tomb is underneath The Thinker. Check out 'Hell's Gate' & 'The 3 Shades' while you're in the gardens . Very impressive.

Hareesh Nuthi

First Sunday of month it's free. However go early around 10 otherwise end up in queue lasting 45 minutes to enter the museum main building

Americo Jost

One of the coolest gardens in town . It worth the two euros visit

Adrian De Smul

Lovely place to wander and relax to get away for a bit in Paris
