One of the highlights of the Paris trip was our visit to Rodin's museum. As Paris is a very popular spot for tourists over the Easter long weekend, we saw a lot of tourists on our trip, and lots of queues (queues at the Eiffel Tower were over 3 hours long, even for the stairs!). Since the Rodin museum is a little smaller, it wasn't packed with tourists, so it was very enjoyable.
Many of the works of Rodin, widely regarded as the greatest 19th-century French sculptor, are on display in an outdoor garden in Paris, including The Thinker. There are also quite a few displayed indoors at the museum, such as The Kiss. We both enjoyed marvelling at the marble, clay and bronze sculptures, while also learning a bit about the life of Rodin.
