The Hotel Biron, an eighteenth-century mansion built by the financier Abraham Peyrenc de Moras between 1727 and 1737, was the home of Auguste Rodin for the last nine years of his life. Given by the State in exchange for creations, he installed his workshops and apartments there.
The museum presents to the public a vast collection of sculptures by the artist, staged in the different rooms of the building or in the garden "à l'anglaise". Temporary exhibitions are also organized.
