More than 6,000 sculptures, 8,000 drawings, 10,000 old photographs, 8,000 art objects... The Rodin Museum's collection is impressive and is now spread over two sites: one at the Villa des Brillants in Meudon and the other in the Hôtel Biron in the heart of the 7th arrondissement of Paris.
This entrance ticket opens the doors of the private mansion on the rue de Varenne, which was once the residence of the artist, but also of Jean Cocteau and Henri Matisse. Today, the permanent and temporary collections honor Rodin himself as well as other artists such as his muse and companion Camille Claudel or recently emerging talents of contemporary art. Don't hesitate to stroll through the alleys of the park to admire the magnificent sculptures, such as The Thinker, the Burghers of Calais or the Gate of Hell, and enjoy an inspiring stroll in this garden full of trees and flowers, a real little cocoon in the middle of the city.
The Musée Rodin is showcasing a little-known piece from its collections, Auguste Rodin's Étude de robe de chambre pour Balzac. Based on a selection of sculptures from the museum's collections, 19th-century fashion pieces from the Palais Galliera and previously unpublished archives from the library of the Institut de France, the exhibition unfolds an investigation into Rodin's search for Balzac's body, starting with the singular Robe de chambre. This investigation is a veritable prelude to a reflection on the bodies - real, idealized, statuesque and hidden - in 19th-century monumental statuary that still populate our contemporary world.
