Auguste Rodin is one of the most relevant sculptor ever, who lived during the first half of the 20th century. The Rodin museum opened on August 4th, 1919. Rodin rented the ground floor of the Hotel Biron in 1908. The sculptor was helped by his closest friends and showed his will to create a museum inside the hotel Biron, which will be dedicated to him.
Rodin entrusts all his collections and his personal archives, besides his property in Meudon and all his works, sculptures and drawings with reproduction rights to the State only in 1916 and for three subsequent donations. Today you can find marbles, bronzes, plasters, waxworks, earthenware, ceramics, paints, drawings and other artists’ works, i.e. Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh, belonging to his personal collection.
