This Museum located in Philadelphia is a very nice place to visit. This building is very beautiful and has a place to sit outside where you can just rest or read a book. In about 60 minutes, it is possible to visit it all. It has a very nice display of Rodin’s sculptures. In the entry, people can find the most famous Rodin’s sculpture: The thinker. Inside, there is an important collection that was a gift to the city offered by Jules Ephraim Mastbaum. All the pieces are very well organized and the information provided is good and interesting. While I was walking by the different rooms, I was thinking that Rodin’s work was very large and impressive and, as I never saw one of his works before, all I was able to see fascinated me. When you first enter to the building, you walk by the souvenirs store. Then, as we visited first the Philadelphia Museum of Art, we didn’t pay for this visit, which we considered very convenient, so we received a very nice welcome to the place and were able to start our tour. Everything is clean, the staff is very kind and we really loved the time we expend. Nice work!

Beautiful intimate sculpture museum of Rodin, ticket is included with purchase of MOA ticket. A lovely hidden space with a reflective pool and treasured sculptures. I definitely recommend if you value solitude and reflection. The prices provoke contemplation.

It was closed when I went to visit it. But Rodin is a big artist and well-known. It is nice from the outside, probably worth visiting it.

I visited this museum bc it was free with a ticket to the Museum of Art. I think if you really like classic sculpture and or Rodin its very impressive. If youre not than its still worth walking around the grounds if youre nearby but I wouldnt go out of my way.I dont know a lot about sculpture but I was ecstatic to find a little Giacometti in a glass case. Made my day!

While I dont think this museum is a must see in Philadelphia for the average person, I am definitely glad I took the time to come in. I wasnt too familiar with Rodin before coming here but I was intrigued enough by his work to do some research on him after leaving. There are several statues outside that you can view without going in, and Im sure the grounds are beautiful in the spring/summer/fall but unfortunately I visited in winter so the fountains were off and all foliage was bare. Admission was simply a donation, we paid the suggested donation which was about $12 per person and they let us know that if you visit the Philadelphia Museum of Art the same day and show your ticket, you get that amount you paid at the Rodin Museum off your admission at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which is standard $22 per person to visit.

The Rodin Museum is beautiful, both inside and out. There are lovely gardens around the exterior, with places to sit. Inside there are tons of pieces by Rodin and others, many of which you can get up close to really see the intricate details in his work.Overall, if you love Rodin or sculpture, this is a must see place!

This is probably one of the most beautiful museums I have gone to thus far. The pieces are extraordinary and so well maintained and the place is extremely clean. You can pretty much see everything with a hours time since this museum is small. As soon as you walk in you hit the gift shop. You have a choice of buying your ticket for just this museum or you can pay to see both the Rodin Museum and the Philadelphia Museum of Art (I will get to that review later). My favorite pieces were The Gates of Hell, The Thinker, The Kiss (even though it is a replica) and the Centauress. It is really worth checking out if you are interested in sculptures.

Participated in the drawing class that is held every other Saturday, from 10am to 12pm. The facilitator was very knowledgeable, and had excellent insight. The museum holds many beautiful sculptures by Rodin and other artists.

Intimate sculpture gallery, pay what you wish, and close to other museums and eateries. Helpful staff, a variety of materials to sketch the sculptures.

Small museum with an amazing reflection pool. The sculptures inside are beautiful, so is the building.

An absolutely stunning place to spend 1 hour regardless of the season. Wonderful collection of sculptures, most of them with a good write-ups. Garden is amazing and so peaceful, I was there in a spring, guess that’s the time when flowers and birds make it even more tranquil. Recommend!

Amazing work. Just seeing the Gates of Hell on the outside of museum is amazing with no admission. It took him decades to make the original.

Really cute and small museum managed my Philidelphia Museum of Art down the street. Wonderful collection of sculptures outside including a bronze of the thinker and others in the sculpture garden outside. Inside they have many selections of Rodin sculptures, the most I have ever seen in one place in North America. Definately worth a trip especially since you can get in with your philidelphia museum of art ticket!

Small museum located in a pretty area that transports you to a Parisian park with some magnificent replicas of Rodins impressive genius. You can pay as much as you want to go in and get the same amount off in your same day visit to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The grounds are EXTREMELY beautiful! The museum is surprisingly small but quite nice. It has great areas to be able to sit in front of certain pieces and contemplate them. They even have paper pads and pencils to encourage sketching. A nice quick museum.

Theres a great variety of art, the cashier was so nice, and it had a pleasant, airy atmosphere.

Stunning....Beautiful gem in the middle of the city

Small but beautiful, its collection of sculptures is incredible, outside there is an alcoholic beverage stand and the boys are super friendly, you can sit outside to watch the sunset and enjoy a good drink. Simply beautiful.

One of the Thinker is here! Very peaceful front courtyard where you can relax. There is so much around the area in very near proximity so paying a visit to the Rodin museum is a must if youre in Philly.

Well worth the visit for The Gates of Hell alone. Located at the very entrance to the museum, youll be marvelled even before entering and, inside, youll see some of his works you cant catch in history books. Small, serene, great ambiance for a museum. Staff was a bit creepy though...I tried to ask for a price at the gift shop and was greeted with a cold store is closed. That was at 4:30 and closing time is 5:00 pm.Beautiful beautiful facade, with a replica of the thinker facing the street and magical-looking gardens between it and the museum. Well well worth the visit.

It was inspiring but wasnt that big but also had sketch books and pencils if you needed them

A quiet hidden gem on the way to the larger museum. Many places to sketch or reflect upon the masterpieces by Rodin.

Small, but lots of amazing sculptures. My favorite thing was they had sketch books so people could draw the sculptures.

Another amazing world class museum in Philadelphia. And this one is not that large, so it is very manageable in an hour or few. Friendly staff and amazing collection of Rodin with a few others in the mix. Note that they do not have a coat or bag check, but there is a place where people can leave their bags if they want. Beautiful art in a beautiful building on beautiful grounds. Truly 5 Star.

Nice collection of Rodin pieces. We did not enter the museum but we walked around the free outdoor exhibit. Very peaceful garden with some shady spots to sit.

I was able to come here with a ticket to the Art Museum. Its awesome that they dedicated a museum ro the work of Rodin. They are very interesting to see and read about as well. I came after walking in the museum for hours and then walking here so by the time I came I was kind of exhausted, I feel I wouldve enjoyed it more had it been by first stop.

I cant believe Ive passed this museum for decades (literally) and never stopped in. We lucked into the free noon tour that was delightful and insightful. One of the top museum tours Ive been on. Rodin museum is a dont miss.

If you like sculptures, this is the perfect place to be. Small but awesome museum!

Small but lovely, free audio guides and its pay what you wish which you can then apply towards your ticket to the Philadelphia art museum.

Excellent museum and a must see. It is small but dedicated to Rodin. They host his original work in bronze, some work in plaster and some reproduction. You should attend to the tour. It is free and the guide is well motivated and highly knowledgeable. If you buy tickets for Philadelphia Museum of Art and it is valid for two days. You can use your ticket to visit Rodin Museum.

This is wonderful place for who know Rodin or not. Calm, focused, but interesting contrast such as strong vs. Soft, detail vs. Simple.

The Rodin museum is a little gem in Philly. Even though we didnt go inside, we enjoyed the beautiful façade and calm, flowery park.

Unfortunately, I got there too late. However the gates were still open and was able to see the statues outside, particularly The Gates of Hell.

How happy I am to had visited the Rodin museum.Truly magnificent and in a quiet ambiance to fully capture the beauty of Rodin! It truly is a gem and must be seen by young and old!

Nice museum, really Small if you compare with all the other ones that all in the area, dedicated mostly to Rodin Art.

Fun, beautiful museum. Easy to go through.

Amazing! My daughter takes art for her major and just loved seeing the statues. They also leave sketch books in areas for artists to leave their work. My daughter added her work to them. Just a beautiful place to visit.

This is a small museum but it boasts interesting pieces from the artist Auguste Rodin. There are suggested prices at the entrance but you pay what you want. Fun place if you want to visit a Philly museum but are tight on time.

Best Rodin Museum out side of Paris. A must see, not just for artists, but all interested in desire, fear, love, and the human figure. Masterpieces include: the Gates of Hell, the Kiss, Eternal Spring, and the female Emergence. Powerful art and wonderful grounds. eNJoy

Magic place during the summer. You can either pay the 10 fee for this museum or but the 20usd entrance fee for the Philadelphia Art Museum, other two museums and the Rodin one. It is definitely worth to go, they have little chairs and tables in the garden to drink something while enjoying a beautiful day. The sculptures are really good. If you know Rodin it is a must, if you like sculpture you should get to know him and if its either you should only as general knowledge and youll get a very good sense of who is Rodin. They have their most famous pieces.

Intimate and beautiful. Lovely garden to sit in outside.

Excellent displays and descriptions. We learned quite a bit about Rodin and sculpture art.

Relatively small museum but the sculptures are very interesting. Probably takes about an hour to see everything. Love the courtyard area.

Beautiful little museum that showcases sculpture. I think the garden area would have been great in the summer. Great for photos.

Awesome museum to visit, especially if you have already visited the Philadelphia Museum of Art (we were able to use our PMoA ticket to get into the Rodin Museum for free). It is also Pay What You Wish year round. The collection is very well curated with the artists greatest works including The Thinker, The Burghers of Calais, and The Gates of Hell. It easy to see the collection in under an hour and is a great stop when exploring Philadelphia!

Wonderful museum, awesome guided tour that really explains the history of the art pieces and the stories behind them. Well worth as visit. Entry fee is pay as you wish

BeautifulFrench garden next to Bén Franklin parkway. Indulge a break in Rodin museum to appreciate his great work Outside of France.

This is a beautiful museum with dramatic works by Rodin and the occasional other sculptor. It was very enjoyable and the art was very good, but I wasnt floored the way I expected to be.I think Rodins art is about emotion and idea. Its as if the hands of each sculpture are speaking whole sentences. But only the most critical details of most sculptures are filled in, the rest left almost brutally rough or omitted entirely. The beautifully smooth sculptures are all other artists copies of Rodins originals.The only other Rodin exhibition Ive seen is the figures from hell at Stanford U in California and it left me with a similar feeling of ambiguity. Maybe its that both fall short of the tales of the beauty of the Musée Rodin in Paris.Dont get me wrong, the price is right (donate what you want) and there are great works here, well worth seeing, in a lovely garden setting and beautiful building. Just not as mind blowing as I had expected.

The most thorough representation of Rodin outside of Paris I have seen thus far. I loved looking through the sketch books throughout the museum and wish I had time to make a sketch of my own. I will plan to spend more time here on my next trip to Philly!

Amazing and varied sculptures by Rodin, and other sculptors.

The largest dedicated collection of Rodins work outside of France, need I say more? Beautiful architecture houses some of his most renown works. Take a few minutes to look at the Gates of Hell right outside the entrance. The three dimensional nature of the work is not at all served by photos and this may be your only chance of ever seeing an original casting of it in America. I take part issue with some works being kept in corner alcoves or against walls when I would love to better see them in-the-round, but nothing so large that keeps me from giving 5 stars.

Not as big as i expect, but still many sculptures, you can go inside with the ticket of Phili’s art museum, it has the famous ‘thinker’ and many other Rodin’s work. The visiting is about 1.5 hour, and don’t miss the garden, there are some more in the garden! In all it’s not a big museum but worth to take a look

Very nice. A lot of cool sculptures, but very small. Takes about a good hour ish to look through it, unless you really study the sculptures. Very nice overall and I would definitely say its a must see

Awesome artist. Loved it even if Im not the cultured art fan.

The Rodin Museum distinguishes itself not just because of the works better there but the knowledgeable and helpful team that is there to assist you. Having said that the gates of hell and many of the other Rodin pieces are just astounding. Ive been to the Rodin museum in Paris. I will tell you that this museum is just as good and is actually more organized with better explanations of each piece. If you have the opportunity you should visit this museum.

One of my favorite museums. My daughter and I went to sketch the statues. They even have collapsible chair for the artists.

A lovely little museum with a pretty garden.

This museum is famous of the gates of hell. It is definitely a beautiful architecture. Love the fountain and the garden. The admission fee is paid what you wish and the garden is free all year round.This museum is very close to Barnes Foundation (walking distance). If you dont mind walking a little bit future, you can also visit the Museum of Art.

Gain entry with your two-day ticket to PMA. Pause with one of the several sketchbooks publicly available in the exhibits and browse the sketches by visitors -- or add your own! This was a gorgeous highlight of my trip to Philly.

I enjoyed visiting this place, if you interested in art, sculptures, then worth visiting, This is an art museum located in located on Benjamin Franklin parkway and it contains one of the largest collections of sculptor Auguste Rodins works outside Paris, must visit this place when you are in Philly

Beautiful sculptures by the famous French artist , Rodin. Worth visiting. Nice guide inside to explain the theme.. She seems you enjoy the job.. Good bless..

Not my cup of tea. Some pieces are beautiful but many are disturbing to modern tastes. The NJ sculpture garden is much more interesting and diverse in style.

Worth the visit! Small and quick to get through quickly, or you are an artist or sculpture you can spend all day here! While its hard to argue the the Rocky statue is probably more popular, Rodin has certainly been around longer. The grounds of the museum are free and have Rodins all around. The huge Rodin door is tremendous. The gardens are beautiful for an outside lunch with the bees and butterflies.For $10 per adult (optional), you can view the inside with both the darker bronzes and the white clay and marble sculptures include the famous thinker. You can apply the $10 admission toward the Philadelphia Museum of Art, a short walk away. Climate controlled, it was perfect for todays heat and there are unisex bathrooms inside. Enjoy!

There are some very beautiful pieces on show here but surprisingly few in large scale. I definitely appreciated that the cost of admission was included in the larger Philadelphia art museum which made this a great value.

A quiet and calm location in the middle of the busy city. Even if you dont go into the museum, theres a garden where you can sit and enjoy several scupltures. The famous Thinker and Hells Gate can be seen without even going inside!

Small place, but I love the details and the information given, they made me think about what I was viewing in a way, o would not have come up with on my own.

All work by Rodin. Part of Philadelphia museum ticket.

This is a nice little museum that explains well how Rodin was perceived at the beginning of his carrier and then developped his style. Diggerent approach to the Rodin museum in Paris. We enjoyed the light flowing through the windows on the statues, and the different shapes of the rooms.

Very small, but lots of sculptures. We walked through the entire museum in about 15 minutes. The grounds were nice but there was some sort of maintenance crew there when we went over spring break so we didnt explore too much. The gift shop has all of the same type of items as the Art museum with comparable prices. Its worth going if you have the time. Definitely go if you are interested in sculptures.

Amazing museum. The sculptures are of course fantastic. Really nice to walk around and enjoy the grounds too.

Very small; even if you look closely at everything, you can easily be done in 30 minutes. Several sculptures are on the grounds outside on three sides of the building. In addition to Rodin, they have sculptures from other artists, including one by Picasso.

Elegant small museum well worth a visit. Ticket to Philadelphia Museum of Art also covers the Rodin museum.

Small, but self paced and significant. The collection of pieces is stunning and worth a trip. From The Thinker to the tribute to the Magnanimous Balzac to the individual pieces of The Gate of Hell. This museum captures the provocative maverick Rodin was and is displayed beautifullly.

The largest collection of Auguste Rodins works outside of France.

A nice little museum. Fun to see so many Rodin sculptures in one place.

Very interesting pieces by Rodin only thing that got me was the amount of money I spent for such a small museum.

The museum was beautiful thought a tad hot! Definitely recommend taking the tour with the guide.

Beautiful sculptures; its like a whole other world. I havent gotten to Beer Garden yet but i know that will be amazing as well.

Wonderful collection tin of Rodins and others work. small library to sit and study or sketch. PMOA is a two day ti ket and includes Rodin museum.

Without a doubt, Rodin was a pop star of the sculpture. Far from his native France, in the American city patron of the Philadelphia arts we find a museum with some of his most recognizable works.

Well worth the price of admission. Informative placards and staff. Wonderful collection but on the small side. Do not miss the gardens surrounding.

This place is small really small. The best pieces are out side like Dantes Inferno Inside you have 5 small rooms with a lot of Rodin works of arts.

Great little museum housing a few Rodin sculptures (replicas).

Seems like grounds/gardens r needing some maintenance even in winter. No descriptions of some sculpture by frontWe were never given info IF tours or audio guidesAn interesting worthwhile place to see.

I understood what Rodin as a sculptor is all about. My history teacher would had been proud of what I know now. Jk shed still try to fail me

Well laid out museum. The staff were surprisingly knowledgeable and pleasant.

Perfect way to spend a rainy Sunday.

Beautiful! The courtyard is stunning, and the statues each have plaques offering some insight. Even without a tour, I feel like I learned a great deal! The employees were very kind.

What a gem! Wonderful collection of sculptures that were displayed beautifully both indoors and out. Nice setting and this was with some melting residual snow. The atmosphere allows one to contemplate all the works on display. Very enjoyable.

The museum is nice but it’s so little. It takes around 10-15 minutes to see it all.

Wonderful exhibits of masterworks.

Good collection of Rodin, with nice descriptions giving historical context. If you liked this exhibit check out the Cantor museum at Stanford, too.

Its small but comes free with the large museum, theres a nice park/area to walk through if you come here from the museum.

Lovely little museum across from PMA and part of the ticket. Dont miss it. The grounds are like being in Paris.

Loved this small museum. The entrance fee is a suggested $10 but you can pay as you would like. It is one level and can be seen in under 2 hours. We were there under an hour. The front door is mind-blowing! We visited this museum and the Barnes museum next door and found that was a a good combination. Be sure to walk around outside to see the gorgeous work around the museum. Hint: For a quick bite to eat between the museums we walked a few blocks to The Kite and Key Pub for good bar food.

Beautiful surprisingly hidden gem in the heart of Philly.I would live here if I could.

Visit The Gates of Hell, The Thinker and The Shades. All spectacular. Emotions frozen forever in time. Loved it. Missing being there.

Exceptional, must do the free tour to get the most out of this. Fantastic tour, loved it

In my opinion, this place is worth visiting only if you have knowledge of sculpting and/or plan to sit there and do sketches etc.For lay man like me, it was super boring and also it is very small. Total of maybe 30 sculptures. I went there to kill some time before heading to the airport. I was done in 30min. Good thing is it is pay-what-you-wish -- i paid $5 per person, which I think was too much.

Wonderful, not too big and perfect for the last museum at the end of a 4 day mini Philly vacation with a bunch of museums.
