Musée Rodin

Hôtel Biron is a jewel of Parisian rocaille architecture, 

with its expansive park.

From the Musée Rodin website:

First opened to the public on 4 August 1919, 

the Musée Rodin was housed in a mansion, 

formerly called the Hôtel Peyrenc de Moras. 

Now known as the Hôtel Biron, it was built on Rue de Varenne 

between 1727 and 1732. Nearly 300 works from Rodin’s collection 

are on view in this mansion.

Do you know how long you have to stand here to capture 

a photo with absolutely no one but M. Rodin in view?

L'Escalier d'Hôtel Biron

Hôtel Biron was closed several years for renovations,

opening again in November 2015.

This elegant mansion, built between 1727 and 1737

 houses over 200 works of August Rodin.  

The grounds are exquisite and a befitting backdrop 

for large Rodin bronzes.
