Once again this year, the Rodin Museum in Meudon welcomes us to celebrate the 42nd Journées du Patrimoine: on the weekend of Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st September 2025, the famous sculpture museum unveils its program for all art lovers.
It's an opportunity to (re)discover the different areas of the museum, from the studio to the plaster gallery. In this illuminated gallery, you can admire the strange tool Rodin used to enlarge his most famous sculptures: the pantograph. This not-to-be-missed cultural event will take you deep into the world of this major French sculptor.
Maison des ateliers, galerie des plâtres, atelier des antiques, parc de la villa: discover the different areas of this museum one by one as you follow the itinerary, and take part in manual activities specially organized for young and old artists alike. The museum invites you to make the most of its beautiful interior and exterior spaces, and spend some quality time with your family during the summer.
