Experience art in a historic mansion

Admire Rodin’s works inside the elegant Hôtel Biron, an 18th-century mansion that adds a layer of Parisian charm and historical context to your visit.

Things to know before booking Rodin Museum tickets

  • Rodin Museum & Sculptures Garden Skip-the-Line Tickets let you bypass the wait and head straight into the museum. Once inside, explore everything, from masterpieces like The Thinker, The Gates of Hell, and The Kiss, to Rodin’s art collection with works by Van Gogh, Renoir, and Camille Claudel.
  • While you can explore the museum on your own, choosing a guided tour adds depth to your experience. Two types of guided tours are available:
    • Audio-guided tour: Ideal for flexible, self-paced visits. The digital audio guide app offers insightful commentary on Rodin’s life, key works, his art collection, and his artistic legacy.
    • Private guided tour: Led by an expert, this exclusive experience delves into Rodin’s creative process, his influence on modern sculpture, and his relationship with Camille Claudel, all with personalized insights and context.
  • If you’re planning to visit multiple museums, consider the Paris Museum Pass, which includes access to over 50 cultural sites, including the Rodin Museum, and can save you both time and money.
  • While the Rodin Museum is generally less crowded than the Louvre or Orsay, skip-the-line entry is still helpful, especially on weekends and sunny afternoons.
