Rodin Museum, {CATEGORY}

The beautiful, intimate Rodin Museum, in a 1929 Paul Cret building, exhibits the largest collection of the master's work (129 sculptures) outside the Musée Rodin in Paris. It has inherited its sibling museum's romantic mystery, making a very French use of space inside and boasting much greenery outside. Entering from the parkway, virtually across the street from the Franklin Institute, you'll contemplate The Thinker, then pass through an imposing arch to a front garden of hardy shrubs and trees surrounding a fishpond. Before going into the museum, study the Gates of Hell. These gigantic doors reveal the artist's power to mold metal with his tremendous imagination. The main hall holds authorized casts of John the Baptist, The Cathedral, and The Burghers of Calais. Several of the side chambers and the library hold powerful erotic plaster models. Drawings, sketchbooks, and Steichen photographic portraits of Rodin are exhibited from time to time.
