Musée Rodin was opened in 1919, & is dedicated to the works of the French sculptor Auguste Rodin. It has two sites, at the Hôtel Biron and surrounding grounds in central Paris, and just outside Paris at Rodin's old home, the Villa des Brillants at Meudon (Hauts-de-Seine). The collection includes 6,600 sculptures, 8,000 drawings, 8,000 old photographs and 7,000 objets d'art, and the museum receives 700,000 visitors annually. Rodin used the Hôtel Biron as his workshop from 1908, and subsequently donated his entire collection of sculptures to the French State on the condition that they turn the buildings into a museum (which was his life's dream) dedicated to his works. We were lucky enough to see three of Rodin's most famous works, the Thinker, the Gates of Hell & the Kiss.
