Musee Rodin


On the first sunny and (almost) warm day in a few weeks, a couple friends and I met up at the Musee Rodin. In addition to its indoor permanent collection, it has beautiful gardens with many of Rodin's sculptures.

Of course, the first one we saw was "Le Penseur" or "The Thinker."




The rest of the collection was just as impressive and gave us a chance to brush up on our (apparently minimal) knowledge of mythology (and possibly inspired us to reread The Odyssey).


Ugolin
(who had to eat his children)


La Porte d'Enfer
(The Gate of Hell)


La Cathedrale
(The Cathedral)




L'Hotel Biron
(where the permanent collection is kept)


Definitely one of my favorite museums in Paris!
