When in Paris, Musée Rodin is well worth a trip! Especially the gardens! It only costs 2€ per adult and 1€ per student. The gardens are exquisite, charming with beautifully trimmed trees and gorgeous rose bushes of all colors. But of course the attractions are Rodin's sculptures.
Auguste Rodin of course is the French Romantic sculptor from the late 1800 and early 1900. However, what was amazing to me today besides his amazing talent bien sûr, is his incredible sense of business. In 1900, Rodin erected his own pavilion in the place de l'Alma to coincide with the Paris World exhibit. He filled it with 150 of his own sculptures thus bringing in several private commissions and bigger success!
