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.

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!

Here are some of the unconventional places where I find art in Paris…
