In Paris, the first Sunday of every month is free museum day. Not all, but most museums in the city are free to visit for the day. So, this past weekend I enjoyed my first free museum Sunday at the Musée Rodin. I had actually visited before several years ago, but it happens to be one of my favorites and I wanted to visit again.
It goes without saying that the sculptures are amazing to see in person, but one of the best things about visiting the Musée Rodin, à mon avis, is the beautiful garden there. Sprinkled throughout the gardens are various Rodin works, including Le Penseur:
If you visit Paris I highly recommend stopping by the museum. Especially if the weather is nice as you can really take advantage of the garden, and sit for a while just enjoying the scenery.
Along with Le Penseur, several other famous works are here including La Porte de l’Enfer:
And, if you do happen to visit when the weather is cooler, there are indoor exhibits of Rodin’s work as well, along with smaller, limited exhibits featuring the work of other artists.
