Rodin is credited with freeing French sculpture from Classicism and is the greatest sculptor since Michelangelo. He lived and worked in what is now this museum from 1908 until his death in 1917. The museum is in the eighteenth-century Hôtel Biron, which was a convent before it became a residence for artists and writers. The museum is filled with his works--the greatest collection in the world, including “The Thinker, Gates of Hell, and The Burghers of Calais”. There are lovely gardens at the back with a refreshment stand.
