Rodin Museum

This museum I saw on the way to the Museum of Art and decided to stop by. All of the sculptures are by Auguste Rodin, who is probably best known for "The Thinker." He was from France and lived from 1840-1917 and his work departed from the traditional style of the time. This man had some talent for sure, there is an abundance of detail, intricacy, and realism in his work.
