Had no time to like anything!! After waiting over 1/2 hour behind 200-300 people just in our ticket line we found the polace so absolutely packed with people inside, unlike anything I have ever seen before!!! There was nothing 'memorable' for us for us except the feeling of relief after fighting our way to get out the exit. The 90 Euros we spent for our 3 tickets was lost but chalked it up to a good lesson for next time where we will find someplace else to go.

The problem was not having tickets for my kids. They had free entry, so I had to line up again and get tickets for them, even though I had digital tickets for the adults? Defeats the purpose of skipping the line. Would be a huge problem if this happened at the Arc de Triomphe as the line was very long to recover the free tickets. Need to have them included in the online booking system.

I had already visited the museum in 1992. I remembered it vaguely, very endearing, I remember that the "Pere Tanguy" was hanging on a wall of the staircase. Now with the remodeling works and the acquisition of new sculptures acquisition of new sculptures, it has become wonderfully beautiful. A must for lovers of sculpture and especially those of Rodin. Ah, impressive the amount of pieces that can be seen, both inside and in the garden. You can not miss it!

The Rodin Museum was wonderful, not only for the magnificent art but also the fact that it was not so crowded. You could really enjoy the exhibits. The gardens were peaceful and the café was a perfect spot to sit and savor the beauty.

We loved seeing how Rodin worked over the separate elements of his pieces, before arriving at a final pose, expression, or grouping. For example, it was as if we could glimpse his creative process as he worked toward his final bronze of the Burghers of Calais. Brilliant!

There were no queues or crowds between 12:00 and 15:00. The impressive sculptures could be viewed in detail in the extensive, beautiful sculpture garden with shady areas and a restaurant. The works of Camille Claudel should be highlighted much more clearly for me.

Tutto molto interessante. Peccato solo che i biglietti per i vambini, anche se gratuiti, non si possano fare direttamente da app.

The best part was seeing the Done Church and Napoleon's tomb. We didn't realise you didn't have to book the Army museum to see this church. The army museum was ok but we found it a bit boring not being part of our history.

We had to show out tickets multiple times during the visit. I found it difficult to keep having to find the actual ticket amongst the many confirmation notices I received. Otherwise the visit and services were fine.
