The Rodin Museum is located on Rue de Varenne in Paris’ 7th arrondissement, close to Les Invalides. You can walk to the museum from the Eiffel Tower (20 to 25 minutes on foot). The the closest Metro stations are Varenne (Line 13) and Invalides (Line 8 and 13).

The museum is open every day except Mondays, year round. The quietest time to visit is on a weekday, and the best time to explore the gardens is in spring and summer, when the roses are in bloom.

Rodin’s legendary sculptureThe Thinker is one of the museum’s star attractions, but other notable works includeThe Age of Bronze,The Gates of Hell, andThe Hand of God. Visitors can also stroll through the idyllic sculpture garden, where highlights include the Garden of Orpheus, the Garden of Springs, and a series of magnificent rose gardens, and visit the impressively renovated chapel, which serves as a temporary exhibition room. For those keen to see even more, a second collection of Rodin’s works can be found at the Musée Rodin Meudon, located in the Villa des Brillants, the artist’s former home in Meudon, just outside Paris.
