Musée Rodin

This beautiful building houses the Musée Rodin, and was his actual studio back in the day. I really appreciate the size of this museum, it is not enormous. The whole museum can be explored in a couple of hours.



One of the many bronze copies of "The Thinker." I learned here that Rodin made small models out of clay, then had his workers do the bronze casting in different sizes. 



A beautiful view of le Dôme des Invalides from the garden of Musée Rodin. This is where Napoleon Bonaparte is buried in an enormous, grand tomb.


 

OK, I just found this funny. 



The Kiss -- beautiful
