Meet the Rodin Museum’s most recognisable masterpiece. The Thinker sits quietly in the garden, drawing millions of visitors each year who come to admire its expressive detail and contemplative mood.
You will find The Thinker in the Rodin Museum's Sculpture Garden. It is placed near the central pathways, making it one of the first major artworks you will encounter outdoors.
Access is included with all standard Rodin Museum tickets. There is no separate ticket required to view The Thinker.
