On our first day in Paris, we went to the Rodin museum. We both quite liked it because it was fascinating. I quite like 3-D art and especially sculptures. The museum is set in a beautiful garden so it feels more like a sculpture garden than a museum. There is more art in the building as well. As our new usual, we got the audio guide and learned some interesting things. I learned how the sculptures were made and that there are multiples of them. We also learned that Rodin liked Dante's "Inferno" and sculpted many scenes from it. We're going to have to read it now.

it's fun to see your pictures. we just got back from five days in paris a little while ago. i posted many stories and photos on my blog, if you're interested. i look forward to reading more about your trip.
we, too, loved the rodin museum. (and had the best cafe creme of our trip in the little cafe in the garden.)
John probably read Dante's inferno in Brower's English Lit class in HS. Did he forget???
No, John didn't forget that he read Dante's Inferno. I haven't read it, though, and he wants to read it again now.
