Rodin Museum Reviews Summary

Museum Experience

Pros:

• "Beautiful little museum filled with small and large sculptures."
• "The museum is not so big, which allows you to easily check on every sculpture without any rush."
• "The collection is about an hours-worth of gazing but Rodin's sculptures and pieces from other artists are breathtaking."
• "It's a wonderful little museum."
• "A wonderful museum. There are sculptures outside and inside, plus a few little games outside to use at your discretion."
• "This museum captures the provocative maverick Rodin was and is displayed beautifully."
• "Wonderful collection of sculptures outside including a bronze of the thinker and others in the sculpture garden outside."

Cons:

• "The garden is pretty but could be better kept, although that may be due to the pandemic."
• "There's not as much art as you might expect, so don't expect to spend too much time there."
• "A recommended fee of $10 per person felt really ridiculous; I felt scammed the moment I passed the entrance after paying and realizing how little there was to see."
• "It was very small and was basically one large room."
• "For lay man like me, it was super boring and also it is very small."
• "The collection is minimal, so that's the only downside."
• "Well, the museum is basically a single room with some copies of rodin’s works."

Accessibility & Facilities

Pros:

• "If you visited the Museum of Art, your admission gets you in here as well."
• "If you have a Philly Museum of Art membership, you have free access to the Rodin as well."
• "The employees were very friendly and understanding... The staff was nothing but understanding despite the fact I am young and don't look disabled."
• "Admission is technically free with a suggestion of $12."
• "You can pay as much as you want to go in and get the same amount off in your same day visit to the Philadelphia Museum of Art."
• "Tickets can be combined with Arts Museum- great perk."
• "Admission was simply a donation, we paid the suggested donation which was about $12 per person."

Cons:

• "Please add some signs for the handicap entrance by the garden steps using my ~$40 donation."
• "No 'last admittance' time posted ANYWHERE on your site including the 'Visitor Tips & Policies' section."
• "The handicap entrance is all the way in the back, locked and difficult to find."
• "Note that they do not have a coat or bag check, but there is a place where people can leave their bags if they want."
• "Staff was a bit creepy...I tried to ask for a price at the gift shop and was greeted with a cold 'store is closed'."
• "Staff can improve their people skills, like every people from around the world would know what they mean by the suggested donation."
• "Staff couldn’t spare 5 minutes to let us do a quick walkthrough on my sister’s birthday even with prepaid online tickets."

Value & Experience

Pros:

• "A must visit in Philadelphia."
• "Very nice overall and I would definitely say it's a must see."
• "One of the Thinker is here! Very peaceful front courtyard where you can relax."
• "Its a must in Philadelphia, having in mind that there is only other in the world at Paris, but be careful is not a place to take a selfie, you need to understand each piece, all are correlated and have its own history, that's the magic."
• "The singular focus of this museum is a refreshing change of pace, and its size makes the works very accessible."
• "This is probably one of the most beautiful museums I have gone to thus far. The pieces are extraordinary and so well maintained."
• "The Rodin Museum was my favorite I have ever been to."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately I visited in winter so the fountains were off and all foliage was bare."
• "I expected more spacious museum and garden with more collections of Rodin."
• "For $10 per adult (optional), you can view the inside... You can apply the $10 admission toward the Philadelphia Museum of Art, a short walk away."
• "It's worth mentioning they have gender neutral restrooms here."
• "The heat also prevented us from spending much time in the surrounding gardens."
• "The suggested entrance fee is $12 per adult. Though it's optional, we paid it to support the cause, but it is a bit steep."
• "All in all the visit might leave you disappointed!"
