To mark the centenary of his death, the Musée Rodin and Réunion des musées nationaux Grand Palais are joining forces to celebrate Auguste Rodin (1840-1917). The exhibition reveals Rodin’s creative universe, his relationship with his audience and the way in which sculptors have appropriated his style.

After being closed for months, 11 rooms in the east wing of the Hotel Biron are now welcoming visitors with a show entitled “Masterpieces on the Move”. Works include Rodin’s The Walking Man, The Bronze Age, The Cathedral, The Wave, The Waltz, and The Gossips by Camille Claudel. The west wing will reopen in April 2013.

In the garden, visitors can still enjoy Rodin’s bronze works: The Gates of Hell, the celebrated Thinker, the statue of Balzac and the Burghers of Calais. Don’t let the renovation keep you from enjoying this master’s work. Especially beautiful at night on Wednesdays.
