The following text comes from the Rodin Museum's website.
The Rodin Museum possesses about six thousand and six hundred sculptures. These works, in terracotta, plaster, bronze, marble, wax, molten glass, stoneware, etc, are shared between the Hôtel Biron in Paris, and the Villa des Brillants in Meudon. When the Museum was first established, it was decided to exhibit the finished marble and bronze sculptures in Paris, while the plasters would remain in Meudon as a testimony to the genesis of Rodin's works. The situation has not changed much since then. In Meudon, visitors can delve into the mysteries of artistic creation while at the Hôtel Biron they can admire the major works of the sculptor, skilfully arranged in the Museum rooms and the garden in a complementary game of reflections. The 1916 donation of marble and bronze sculptures has been enriched by gifts, acquisitions, casts made by the Museum (The Gates of Hell, Ugolino, etc) and finally deposits of works which belonged to the State and were placed in the Rodin Museum in 1919 or later. These include the two most famous works of the Museum, The Kiss and The Thinker. Porte de L'enfer, Ugolin, le Baiser, Le Penseur.
