Musee Rodin is located in a graceful eighteen century mansion surrounded by a beautiful garden. The mansion, which is owned by the French government, was Rodin's studio from 1910 until his death in 1917. In return for being allowed to use this house Rodin left all his work to the state upon his death.

The Burghers of Calais, The Thinker, The Gates of Hell and Balzac are some of his most famous sculptures are on display in the garden. The indoor exhibits include numerous works, marble sculptures, plaster casts, reproductions, originals and sketches, all giving a sense of why Rodin is considered the father of the modern sculpture. The works have a certain fluidity, they come into view from marble into life. Distinctive beautiful is "The Kiss" around which people form a big crowd. One room inside the museum is dedicated to Camille Claudel, Rodin's pupil, model and mistress. There is a rose garden behind the mansion and an alley winding its way around a pond, making the museum one of the most peaceful spots in Paris.
