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.
