This major exhibition represents a collaboration between the BM and the Rodin Museum in Paris. It tells the remarkable story of Rodin’s passion for the sculptures of the Parthenon. It looks at the sculptures through Rodin’s eyes, explaining their influence on him and exploring how they shaped his role in the beginnings of the modern art movement.
