This museum is less well known than the Louvre but it is well worth the visit. I have been there twice now and am still amazed at how life like the sculptures are. It is devoted to the sculptor Rodin and houses his famous works such as the Thinker (a man sitting with with his forehead rested against his fist rather like Bruce Forsythes famous pose). The marble that is used is truly brought to life by Rodin and the material which started off looking hard is turned into lifelike hands that look as if they would be soft to touch. My favorite statue is the Kiss which depicts two lovers entwined and is one of the most romantic works of art that I know. I had to be content with just buying a poster of it as miniture models were a few hundred pounds! The museum is quite small unlike the Louvre which would take days to see all of it so you only need a couple of hours there. You can also stroll in the pleasant surounding gardens which have a few more of Rodin's statues scattered about. Admission is around £4 but it costs a bit less if you go on a sunday.
