Where Auguste Rodin sculpted the Gates Of Hell for 37 years

Hôtel Biron

 

The Decorative Arts Museum was never built. Rodin worked on this project on the ground floor of the Hôtel Biron.

 

Near the end of his life, Rodin donated sculptures, drawings and reproduction rights to the French government.

 

In 1919, two years after his death, The Hôtel Biron became the Musée Rodin housing a cast of The Gates of Hell and related works.
