The Rodin Museum and Garden in Paris allow you to focus on one important artist, and to see many of his most famous works in one location. The Museum, housed in the beautiful Hôtel Biron, features 16 small rooms of Rodin's work. Here you can see such famous works as The Kiss (below), and various renditions of The Thinker. If you don't want to be inside but still want to appreciate Rodin, the Garden offers perhaps one of the best bargains in Paris. Admission to the Garden is only 1€. Throughout the Garden you can admire Rodin bronzes including The Thinker, The Gates of Hell, Balzac, and The Burghers of Calais. It is a lovely place to walk, sit, and admire the sculptures. Rodin once lived and sculpted in this house, which dates from the 1700's. It's a fitting museum for his wonderful works of art. He wasn't the only famous person to live here: Jean Cocteau and Henri Matisse both did as well, and Isadora Duncan had a dance studio in a former building. Métro: Varenne Paris Museum Pass accepted.
