Rodin Museum Private Guided Tour
What’s where: The Rodin Museum layout
The Rodin Museum exists today, thanks to Auguste Rodin's generous gift of his artwork to the French government– he personally selected the location as the museum's home! Now, let's explore the museum's two main sections: the sculpture garden and the Hôtel Biron.
Sculpture garden
Hotel Biron
- Sculpture garden: What’s better than admiring beautiful artwork inspired by nature, amidst lush nature? The Rodin Museum's sculpture garden is an oasis where art and nature intertwine, as Rodin’s iconic sculptures, like The Thinker and The Gates of Hell are displayed in the thick of flourishing greenery. From the vibrant hues of roses in winter to the cheerful yellows of forsythia in spring, the garden has colorful blooms adorning the landscape throughout the year.
- Hotel Biron: An elegant 18th-century mansion that serves as the permanent home to Rodin’s works, the Hotel Biron has, within its walls, eighteen rooms that showcase an array of the sculptor's creations, including clay sketches, plaster casts, and finished pieces in bronze and marble. You can trace Rodin's artistic revolution through his early career works on display, many of which solidified his reputation as the first of the ‘moderns’.
What to see at the museum
Paintings
Did you know that the Rodin Museum offers an opportunity to admire the works of two artistic giants, Monet and Van Gogh, side by side? Monet’s Belle-Île found a permanent home in Rodin’s private collection as a token of their friendship, exchanged in 1888. Moreover, Rodin acquired Van Gogh's Pere Tanguy in 1894, and their shared love for Japanese art could be the reason for the possession.
Drawings
Auguste Rodin's drawings are an exploration of the human form, particularly the female figure in dynamic, often extreme poses. His models, drawn from the world of dance, music hall, and circus, are rendered in soft, watercolor tones. This collection offers a glimpse into Rodin's artistic process, including works like Battle between a man and a reptile and Two semi-reclining female nudes.
Antiques
Rodin's personal art collection, assembled through purchases from art dealers, serves as a window into his artistic mind. While some pieces reminded Rodin of renowned artworks, others left a lasting impression on him. Among the intriguing objects in this private treasury are the enigmatic Headless Figure of Hercules, the Statue of King Ptolemy III Euergetes I, and the evocative Fragment of a Stela depicting a family group with a seated woman.
Sculptures
Rodin's art is a blend of soft focus, sensuality, raw human emotion, imitation and innovative techniques like assemblage, cutting-out, and pasting. Masterpieces such as The Thinker, The Kiss, The Gates of Hell, The Tower of Work, The Walking Man, The Age of Bronze, Hylas and the Nymphs, and Adam embody these themes, contributing to the Rodin Museum’s rich and varied collection.
Photographs
Rather than relying solely on his own eyes, Rodin turned to photography as a critical tool in evaluating his sculptures, which allowed him to fine-tune his work– he made changes to his work Young Girl embraced by a Marble Ghost based on a photograph by Eugène Druet! The collection also has photographs of his sculptures captured by other renowned artists like Edward Steichen's The Awakening, Charles Michelez's St John the Baptist, Man with a Broken Nose, and Bust of Bellone, and Cesar's portrait of Camille Claudel.
