Another museum worth the visit is the Rodin Museum. 

Jules Mastbaum (1872-1926) began collecting works by Rodin in the early 1920’s with the intention of opening a museum dedicated to him.  Considered the father of modern sculpture, Rodin had many plaster casts made of his clay models, allowing him to save his work and experiment with form further.  He was known for his ability to render extreme expressions which ranged from inner turmoil to overwhelming joy. 

By 1926, Mastbaum had collected the greatest collection of Rodin’s sculptures outside of Paris, but due to his sudden passing, Mastbaum’s wife had the museum plans executed to create the building that exists today.  This museum is not huge, but it is a beautiful place to spend an hour walking around. 

Also, if you happen to pay full price at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, you can get into the Rodin Museum for free.  Otherwise, the Rodin Museum is “pay what you wish” every day, which is still a great deal.
