Rodin Museum

This is a lesser-known museum; but well worth a visit. If you find the regular tourist locations are a bit too crowded, take a few hours out of your day and stroll to this museum and enjoy the slower pace.

The Rodin Museum ranks high on my “favorite places on Earth” list. I’ve been going there for years whenever I needed a place to think, or relax, or admire things. Some of the sculptures are forgettable, but some are so powerful and beautifully done. It’s a small museum, with grounds larger than the actual building, and it’s on an intersection of very busy Philadelphia streets, but somehow the trees around there mask it. I definitely suggest a visit, as a local, and a regular of this museum.

Why not dream of going to the one in Pennsylvania.

It’s a wonderful collection of Rodin’s sculptures. However, you can run through the place in 5 minutes if you really wanted to… though you can probably spend an hour and a half if you really inspect each piece / have a deeper interest in sculpture or Rodin than the average passerby.

I suggest a visit! Though you might want to make it just a stop on your way to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Definitely worth a visit if you are an admirer of Rodin’s sculptures. $3 suggested donation for entry.
