Museum dedicated to Rodin, a sculptor who lived in Meudon, the successive plaster sketches of his great works are exhibited there.
Perfectly preserved, Rodin's villa, the immense studio that adjoins it, the garden and the artist's tomb provide a moving insight into the world of the sculptor. In 1895, Rodin left his Parisian home to settle in Meudon-Val-Fleury. The house and studio have been reconstructed from old photographs. The museum exhibits the plaster sketches of the artist's great works. The tomb of Rodin and his wife is surmounted by the Thinker.

The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
La galerie des plâtres nous plonge dans l'univers de Rodin, de son génie créatif et nous aide à mieux appréhender l'art de la sculpture. On y trouve entre autre, les épreuves en plâtre de la porte de l'enfer, la très célèbre sculpture des Bourgeois de Calais, la statue de Balzac . La villa des Brillants nous emmène elle dans l'intimité de l'artiste et de son épouse Rose Beuret.
Le grand bronze représentant le Penseur de Rodin qui se trouve devant l'entrée de galerie des plâtres surmonte la tombe de Rodin et de sa femme.
