The Rodin Museum is a must—whether you’re into art, history, sculpture, or just love learning more about them. Visit on a weekday and you can walk right in—no prior booking, barely a 5-minute wait.

The audio guide is informative and I would plan on one to two hours. Combine with...

A hidden gem in Paris. No crowds (I went during the week). Beautiful, well-kept gardens, and a lovely interior museum. The layout is nice, and overall it’s a peaceful break from the busy-ness of Paris. Highly recommend visiting

I personally think this is the one museum to go to in Paris if you love Rodin’s works and want to avoid the crowds at bigger museums like the Louvre. The building is beautiful and full of his treasures and the gardens with its statues are unparalleled anywhere. Tickets can be purchased on site and no need for timed entry. It’s easy to access in the heart of Paris and you can tour it in 90 minutes...
