Culture Index exists to catalog cultural institutions online, and highlight the best practices that inspire us.
Launching with a focus on museums and building from there, we are a resource for both research and discovery. Browse information about online communications, and discover ideas with examples of what’s possible for cultural institutions in the digital space.
As a community project facilitated by Base, we invite you to use and contribute to this growing resource.
Musée Rodin
In 1916, a year before his death, Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) donated all of his work and property to the French state. In return, the State purchased the Hôtel Biron and undertook to transform it into a museum dedicated to the artist. The Paris site opened to the public in 1919, that of Meudon in 1948. This donation is the founding act of the Rodin museum, forever preserving the alchemy between an exceptional place in the heart of one of the most beautiful gardens in Paris with the creations of the most prestigious sculptor of the time
