LIBERTY BELLE on the Rodin Museum
“While
Son of Swoop is out groping married women and lusting after
Parkway statues, I tend to enjoy sculpture at
a somewhat higher level, and that is why I absolutely love
the Rodin
Museum. Auguste
Rodin, a French artist of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries,
was the father of modern sculpture and one of the greatest
sculptors who ever lived. Almost everyone is familiar with
his most famous work, ‘The Thinker’. The Rodin
Museum houses the largest Rodin collection outside of Paris – not
only 100+ finished sculptures, but plaster studies, drawings,
prints, letters and books. The Museum is beautiful, as are
the tranquil gardens surrounding it. Standing by the courtyard’s
reflecting pool; I can hardly believe I am just a few blocks
from Center City.”
