The Gates of Hell is included with all Rodin Museum tickets, and no separate ticket is needed; this nearly 6m bronze portal matters because it became the source work for many of Rodin’s most recognized figures. You’ll find it in the sculpture garden outside Hôtel Biron, usually seen before or after the indoor galleries because the museum route is flexible rather than fixed. Give it a deliberate stop, not a passing glance, because its scale only makes sense once you step back, then move in close.
Commissioned in 1880 for a museum of decorative arts that was never built, The Gates of Hell became Rodin’s lifelong laboratory for nearly 37 years. What began as a doorway grew into the source of many independent sculptures, including The Thinker. Today, the bronze in the Rodin Museum garden functions less as an entrance than as the key to understanding Rodin’s imagination at full scale.
