Musée Rodin

This guide to the Musée Rodin in Paris opens with four men arriving at a Left Bank studio in 1913 to commit sculptor Camille Claudel to an asylum, then goes back to the day she walked into Auguste Rodin's studio around 1883 as an eighteen-year-old and became his student, model and lover. You'll hear how their partnership unraveled after Rodin's refusal to leave his longtime companion Rose Beuret, and about the works displayed here that Claudel's brother donated after her death. Walk the garden slowly; the pieces are arranged to be read in sequence.
