Avg. Event Rating (3.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

[VIDEO] The Cantor Art Center’s collection of Rodin bronzes is the largest in the world outside Paris, second only to the Musee Rodin. More than fifty works by Rodin are on view inside the Center, mostly cast bronze, but also works in wax, plaster, and terra cotta. Twenty bronzes, including The Gates of Hell, on which Rodin worked for two decades to complete, are outside in the Sculpture Garden. The Burghers of Calais are nearby on campus. The Garden is open 24 hours a day, is lit at night for nightime viewings, and is adjacent to the Cantor Arts Center. Admission to both the Garden and the Cantor Arts Center is free.

    The Rodin garden has been one of my favorite hang-outs since high school. The layout is elegant, and the sculptures are simply magical. Lovely spot for picnicking, too.
