Philadelphia's Rodin Museum, located on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, holds one of the largest public collections of Auguste Rodin's work outside Paris. Movie magnate Jules Mastbaum assembled the collection in the 1920s and gifted it to the city. The museum features bronze casts of "The Thinker," "The Gates of Hell," and "The Burghers of Calais." Admission is ticketed, and visitors 18 and under get in free.
