History
Musée Rodin occupies Hôtel Biron, an 18th‑century mansion Rodin used as a studio and where he donated a large portion of his works to the French state in the early 20th century.
Conservation
The museum actively conserves fragile plaster casts and bronze patinas; visitors are asked not to touch sculptures and to stay behind barriers to protect delicate surfaces.
