Art Museums of the World : Teacher and student, works of love
Tucked away in Paris near Les Invalides, and dwarfed in reputation by galleries such as the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay, the Musée Rodin is a gem for any sculpture enthusiast. The year before he died, Rodin donated all his works to the French government on the condition that the state establish a permanent museum dedicated to his work, and in 1919, the former hotel where he had lived opened as the Rodin Museum. It now houses a great selection of his works, from small busts to the more monumental, such as the famous pieces, The Kiss, The Thinker and the monumental The Gates of Hell.
