The museum features nearly 150 sculptures, including bronze casts, marbles, and plasters by the renowned French sculptor Auguste Rodin.
The Rodin Museum was designed in the Beaux-Arts style by French architect Paul Cret and opened to the public in 1929.
A bronze cast of Rodin's famous sculpture 'The Thinker' greets visitors at the entrance of the museum.
The Rodin Museum is administered by the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which ensures the preservation and display of its collection.
Jules Mastbaum, a Philadelphia philanthropist, was an avid collector of Rodin's works and established the museum to share his collection with the public.
The museum is set within a formal French garden, designed to complement the Beaux-Arts architecture and enhance the visitor experience.
In 2012, the Rodin Museum completed a significant restoration project to preserve its architecture and improve the display of its collection.
