Home to one of the largest public collections of Rodin's work outside of Paris, the Rodin Museum, which opened in 1929, boasts almost 150 bronzes, marbles and plasters created by Auguste Rodin. The collection represents every phase of the illustrious artist's career. Highlights include The Kiss, Rodin's famous sculpture of two lovers.

The beaux-arts building itself is also a stunner, designed by French architect Paul Cret, while the formal French garden was designed by landscape designer Jacques Gréber. The lovely outdoor space features eight of Rodin's works, including The Thinker and The Gates of Hell. Recent visitors said the museum is beautiful inside and out and call the museum's collection excellent.

The museum sits within a 15-minute walk south of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, across the street from the Barnes Foundation. If you're arriving via public transportation, you can hop on the PHLASH bus and get off at stop No. 8. The museum is open Wednesday through Monday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Suggested admission is $10 for adults and $7 for youths ages 13 through 18, though you can pay what you wish.
