The Musee Rodin’s exhibit of 150 erotic watercolors painted between 1890 and 1917 will come off display on March 18th.

These female studies, produced during the last two decades of his life, created quite a scandal when first exhibited at the Grand Ducal Museum in Weimar. The director was immediately fired.

The Musee Rodin consistently ranks as one of the most beloved museums in Paris. Formerly the Hotel Biron, the museum was Rodin’s final residence, and upon his death the hotel and the majority of his works (as well as those amassed from van Gogh and Renoir) were donated to the French state under the condition the property would become a museum.

Housing works such as The Thinker and The Kiss, it is a must on any museum tour, and the garden is perfect for a mid-day repose.

Some of you are confused by this french term, so here is an explanation:

Definition: bobo; adj.

A fairly affluent or educated person who repudiates, denies, or rejects the background from which he or she comes and embraces that of another, most likely lower or less educated, socio-economic one so as to not appear snobbish. Bobos, from the French term “bourgeois bohémien” often graduate from private schools, live in hip, but somewhat sketchy neigbhorhoods, marry an ethnic or ‘other’to upset their parents, or espouse unconventional food or cultural traditions to prove that they are above their bourgeois upbringing. As soon as the going gets tough, however, their breeding will show, and they will watch your napkin placement and use at the dinner table.

Jack tries so hard. First he spent those three years digging latrines in Nicaragua with that exchange group until his Nana paid him to come home and go to SMU law. He is really quite a bobo. He married that Mexican women–she went to Dartmouth, and her uncle was president of Mexico, but now *he* is all about Mexican realness and is an ardent supporter of the Zapatistas and refuses to let their 2 yr old speak English. I heard that he had to recently go to Boston to attend a Raytheon shareholders meeting so that’s why he was buying suits at Brooks and got his beard trimmed.
