Rodin Museum, Philadelphia

My wife and I still revel in the memories of our visit to the Rodin Museum in Paris from 15 years ago, so the opportunity to see the "largest Rodin collection outside of Paris" seemed to be an unbelievable opportunity. Perhaps our expectations were impossibly high, but we just felt disappointed in our visit to the Philadelphia museum. If we had known that the vast majority of sculptures on display were bronze castings, perhaps we would have just enjoyed the beauty and power of Rodin's art. Unfortunately, we were anticipating something akin to the awe-inspiring marble statues on display in Paris, and this is just not what the Philadelphia musuem offers. Tht said, the musuem is certainly a good value ($3 suggested donation) and was a very nice venue in which to view the works.

The works of Rodin are amazingly portrayed at the museum. A audio-guided tour gives visitors the opportunity to go at their own pace and really look at the awesome works of Rodin!

Not as big or diverse as the Art Museum just a few blocks away, but it's free admissions on saturday and sunday and the sculptures are pretty famous. Value for price = infinity

This is one of my favorite smaller museums. We do recommend it and no matter who we take there we have fun. It is a gem of a museum. Always like going down to the Parkway . It's easy to get around and see everything . We still have time to visit the Philadelphia Art Museum. Great location - we like to stop nearby for a meal. A worthwhile day everytime.

I liked Rodin as was able to see his great works n not have to visit Paris.. I also was told we have not 1but 2 of his art works the thinker.. I was a realy nice visit..

One of the best kept secrets in Philadelphia, many people live here their entire lives and never check it out. You should...
