Paris: Musée Rodin A Private Tour - an artist’s insight｜France

Let’s slow down, forget about the crowds and queues elsewhere. This is a jewel among the museums of Paris, it’s rarely overcrowded. One man’s life and passion is housed in this space. We meet at the entrance gate, and then spend two hours exploring the collection. The museum was once Rodin's home and studio. It was bequeathed to the nation to display his own remarkable art and the art of others he admired and collected. His complicated love life is evident in the art, the 'ménage à trois' of Rodin, Rose & Camille is just one thread that I will explore during our time together.

He created a revolution in sculpture equivalent to what Monet and his friends were doing with paint. I will explain why his art is still relevant to us today. He's a passionate and vital artist, you'll also discover the work of his collaborator, assistant & lover Camille Claudel, her sculptures are here as well.

Museum Tickets are NOT INCLUDED in the price, they can be obtained at the rodin.fr website, or simply at the entrance hallway when you arrive (15€). All children under 18 get in free with ID. If you have the Paris Museum Pass this is also a valid entry for the museum. I’m an Irish artist & specialist decorator. I’m also now, for the past 10 years, a Paris Museum Guide.
