Paris=so much art!


Rodin Museum
Originally uploaded by nz fille.

Today I went to the Rodin Museum. It was so fantastic, housed in a gorgeous old mansion with lots of space to move around and not too many tourists. There were lovely big windows giving plenty of natural light to view the sculptures. It was really nice to be able to take lots of time over it, photograph every thing that I wanted to and sit in the gardens writing letters while the sun was shining.
Rodin produced some amazing stuff, and his life story - especially his relationship with the sculptress Camille Claudel - is fascinating. There is a great film called 'Camille Claudel' which I recommend you track down if you're interested in this kind of stuff. And especially if you think you might come to Paris one day and want to visit this museum you should see it as it will really bring Rodin and Claudel's works to life!
