What's Special about the Rodin Museum

This museum has the largest collection of sculptors by Auguste Rodin outside the French capital and is one of the places you should make sure you visit while you are on your Philadelphia travel.

Some of the things that make the Rodin Museum so special include the following:

1. The Gates of Hell entry

This is a bronze cast that is about 5.5 m tall and is found at the museum's entry. It was originally designed for the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris but it was never built. The casting is one of the originals that Rodin made for the museums doors. Follow the link below for more information:
