One of the best museums in Paris, that is missed by most tourists..Musee Rodin and now after a large renovation, its better than ever!

AFTER three years of renovation, the Musee Rodin in Paris reopened its doors last week, with new displays of the French sculptor’s works. The Hotel Biron and its garden were used by Auguste Rodin in the years leading up to his death in 1917 and boasts versions of his “The Thinker” and “The Kiss” – two of the world’s best-known sculptures. 

The mansion attracts 700,000 visitors a year and has needed €16 million  worth of renovation, including urgent repairs to the floor and overhauling its interior design. The museum now boasts a new layout and previously unseen works as well as paintings from Rodin’s personal collection, including paintings by Vincent van Gogh and Edvard Munch. 

“Visitors will see an improved visibility of the works thanks to the furniture which allows more works to be shown,” museum director Catherine Chevillot said. The new layout and different lighting on some displays allows visitors to get very close to the sculptures, she said. 

My Secret: It also boasts one of the loveliest garden cafes in all of Paris.
