The Petit Palais was created for the Universal Exposition of 1900 as a
city museum in which to showcase the works bought from the yearly
Salons.
The Museum owns a marble version of Victor Hugo by Rodin, shown in the 1998 exhibition From
Ingres to Cezanne and the following work of Camille Claudel:
 'Bust of Rodin', bronze

Conservateur en chef: Françoise Heilbrun
The Museum was created to show art, related to the period 1848-1914.
The works are on loan from the Rodin museum in exchange for the works
sent from the Musée du Luxembourg to the Rodin museum for its opening
in 1919. Sculptures by Bourdelle, Maillol, Bernard and Pompon finish off
the circuit.
In 1995, the Musée d'Orsay exhibited the three known marble versions of
The Kiss by Auguste Rodin together so that it was possible to observe that the main
differences lay in the way the blocks were carved and the degree of
finish.

The Musée Rodin in Paris and its sister museum in Meudon were
created through donations by Rodin to the French State. Not only do they
contain the world´s most complete body of Rodin work (more than 6,600
sculptures, ca. 8,000 drawings) but they also administer the art Rodin
had collected himself and his personal archives. The Photo Department
manages an archive of ca. 8,000 photos, including historical photos by
Steichen, Bulloz, Drouet and others.
The Paris Museum is located on the premises of the Hôtel Biron, built
in 1728. Rodin had rented its ground floor and arranged that it was
turned into a museum for his work. The museum shows highlights from the
different sections of the collection.
In addition, Rodin managed that one room was dedicated to his lover
Camille Claudel and fulfilled with her sculptural work. In the graphic
cabinet, you can find also some ink-drawings and an etching.
The museum's Website in French and English offers a very fine overview
and lengthy illustrated articles. These texts by Antoinette Le
Normand-Romain and her colleagues are the finest introductions to
different aspects of Rodin´s life and work on the Internet, together
with the Cantor Foundation Website.
