| The Musee Rodin is just east of the Hotel Des Invalides. If you like
sculptures, this is the place to go. Some of the sculptures you will see are very graphic
so bring your camera! Formerly the Hotel Biron, this is now the home for the Rodin
Museum. Inside, many of the rooms have preserved their original woodwork. It was not until
1916, when Auguste Rodin suffered a stroke, that he gave his work to the nation on the
condition that it remains in the Hotel Biron. For over 10 years, the Hotel Biron which was
state owned as of 1901 was rented by Rodin from 1908 until his death in 1917. Rodin used
the two rooms on the ground floor as his studio and the rooms above for his living
quarters |
