Rodin Museum: Private Skip-the-line Guided Tour with Artist
Overview

Mobile ticket
Hailed as the Michelangelo of modern sculpture, Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) undeniably revolutionized this ancient medium. Through his modeling of clay and ardent experiments with the human form, Rodin captured the deepest passions while simultaneously reflecting on the fragility of existence.
On the tour, you will experience Rodin’s studio process through the eyes of an artist. Your artist-guide will provide unique insight into the sculptor's diverse techniques in a manner understandable for all audiences.
It would be an absolute delight to explore with you how the twisted, dancing limbs; the monumental, immersive enlargements; the bursting blocks of raw stone and polished skin; the entangled, sinuous bodies; the singular mind and powerful hand of Rodin transformed the art of sculpture into living flesh, sublime movement, pure expression.

We will experience firsthand the feverish plaster sketches so central to his creative method and delve into his artistic alliances (to the literary genius, Balzac or former-collaborator, Camille Claudel).

5.00Blerta was very congenial and informative. She shared many stories about the pieces of art and Rodin’s art and his life. We were able to fully explore the museum and the garden. She took several photographs for us. Would highly recommend Blerta as a tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about Rodin.
What a magical experience at the Rodin

5.00To say Blerta was enthusiastic about her work as a guide would be an understatement. While my girlfriend was a follower of Rodin it wasnt till today that Blerta opened my eyes and mind to what a true master he was. Her tour made all the difference. She was friendly and very upbeat about her work unlike other guides I’ve had in the past which sometimes seem like they are just doing work vesus Blerta who you could tell this was her love.
This is the guide
