Musée Rodin at Night in Paris

The Musée Rodin is housed in the former Hôtel Biron, built in 1730 by architect Jean Aubert, and displays works of sculptor, Auguste Rodin. Personally, I'd rather spend my time roaming around the garden than the actual museum. The vast garden is a calm oasis in the center of Paris and displays Rodin's bronze works. Since the garden is not usually open at night, temporary fixtures illuminated his famous pieces creating a magical presence in the otherwise dark garden.

During the Night of Museums Event in Paris I visited the Musée Rodin to view Auguste Rodin famous bronze works.

5 Tips for Visiting Museums with Kids

I think most museums are appropriate and stimulating for children (depending on the child’s interests and attention span) regardless of whether it is labeled a “children’s museum”. Some museums I’ve visited are especially kid friendly (I use my husband as a tester).

Since getting children to museums in order to enhance their art and culture education is so important, I have put together 5 tips to help make it a little easier for you to get your children involved with museums…

The Perfect Date Place in Paris

The "Sewers of Paris Museum" sounds much nicer when you say it in French..."Musée Des Egouts de Paris", but that can't detract from the fact that this museum is in the actual sewer!

I decided to visit this weird museum after reading about it in an article "the world's weirdest museums" and realizing it's just a five minute walk from my apartment. Haven't you ever wanted to pay to go into a sewer (sarcasm insert)?!

Well, if you don't want to pay to go into a sewer then you can visit the Musée Des Egouts in Paris for free on my blog!

Experiencing World Travel with Lonely Planet Bloggers

You might have noticed the “Lonely Planet Featured Blogger” badge on my MuseumChick blog and wondered, “what does she do with Lonely Planet?”

Well, I'll tell you! When I collaborated with Lonely Planet it meant that posts from my blog would be fed to the Lonely Planet website for their readers. This meant more exposure for my blog, that fancy badge on my site and the (surprise) best part--connecting with other Lonely Planet Bloggers, experiencing world travel through their blogs and exchanging ideas for new collaboration projects.

So, if your passport is getting dusty or you're an experienced traveler, you will enjoy meeting my new friends, the other Lonely Planet Bloggers, who share their world travel experiences.
