I don't know very much about arts and culture, especially not French ones. For some reason, I very much like sculptures that are displayed outdoors.Musee Rodin (www.musee-rodin.fr) in Paris is one of my favourite museums. It's small enough that you don't get overwhelmed (unlike le Louvre) but rich enough to keep you busy for at least half a day. Not to mention the wonderful garden of Hotel Biron (in which the museum is housed) where several amazing pieces of Rodin's work are displayed.
This is a close up of one of the most famous pieces by Rodin - Les Bourgeois de Calais - a bunch of bourgeouis about to be executed. The intensity of the moment is very clearly communicated through the facial expressions and body language.
Another famous piece is Le Penseur (The Thinker). This shot is just trying to be cute. Can you spot him in the garden on the right?
