Host your wedding at a museum dedicated to the works and collections of Auguste Rodin, one of the most renowned sculptors of the 19th century. The Musée Rodin offers a variety of exceptional settings to celebrate your big day. Imagine hosting a magnificent reception at Hôtel Biron, an 18th-century private mansion renowned for its harmonious proportions and considered a true gem of Rococo architecture in Paris. Even Rodin himself was captivated by its beauty and worked tirelessly to establish his museum there, which finally opened in 1919, two years after his passing. The building’s elegant interior was fully renovated in 2015.
As an art lover, it’s impossible not to fall in love with this venue! Surrounded by iconic sculptures like The Thinker, The Kiss, and The Hands of God, the museum is a celebration of timeless artistry. The combination of world-class art, classic architecture, and lush gardens creates an atmosphere of unparalleled elegance, making your wedding day even more unforgettable. It’s a venue that will leave a lasting impression on both you and your guests.
The museum offers a variety of stunning spaces, from the grand interior of Hôtel Biron to the tranquil gardens, allowing for a personalized and intimate experience. Plus, located in the heart of Paris, the museum is easily accessible, ensuring a memorable experience for both local and international guests.
The Musée Rodin is located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, near the Hôtel des Invalides.
It is easily accessible by car from anywhere in the city, and for those using public transportation, the nearest metro stations are Varenne (Line 13) and Invalides (Lines 13 and 8).
The museum does not offer accommodation for guests. However, its central Paris location ensures a wide variety of hotels nearby. For a high-end stay, recommended options include Le Meurice, Plaza Athénée, The Ritz, and Four Seasons Hotel George V.
Guests may be welcomed in the heart of Hôtel Biron, within the grand entrance hall at the foot of its monumental staircase. The peaceful Garden of Sculptures is also available, offering a serene outdoor setting with free access for your guests.
For a more intimate celebration, Café du Musée Rodin provides a charming alternative nestled within the Garden of Sculptures. This space is perfect for small breakfasts, aperitifs, lunches, dinners, and cocktail buffets, with the option of hosting the reception outdoors on the terrace in fine weather. Art lovers can enjoy an exclusive guided tour as part of the event.
For grand weddings, the Garden of Sculptures offers an exceptional backdrop. Events may be held on the 600 m² terrace at the foot of Hôtel Biron, the 800 m² central lawn, or the entire southern section of the garden, allowing ample space for customized structures and layouts.
