Musée Bourdelle

Here you can see works by Rodin's star pupil, Antoine Bourdelle (1861-1929), who became a celebrated artist in his own right. Along with changed exhibits, the museum displays the artist's drawings, paintings, and sculptures, and lets you wander through his studio, garden, and house. The original plaster casts of some of his greatest works are on display, but what's most notable here are the 21 studies of Beethoven. Though some of the exhibits are badly captioned, you'll still feel the impact of Bourdelle's genius.

18 rue Antoine-Bourdelle, 15e.Phone: 01-49-54-73-73.Open: Tues-Sun 10am-6pm.Free admission to the permanent collection.Métro: Montparnasse-Bienvenue.
