Auguste Rodin

This weekend was supposed to be full of adventure but as we were on our way to explore the southern part of the island we received a call from the YMs President saying that we had inactive member visits in our ward that evening. As stake representatives, it is our responsibility to attend and support the ward. We decided to stay and just do something closer to home. We were pretty hungry so we stopped at the mall and ate lunch at Oriental Palace, as we walked out we noticed the Rodin museum advertisement. We decided to check it out and it ended up being a great way to spend our morning. Matthew actually studied Auguste Rodin's art at BYU and had the opportunity to see the actual sculptures in real life, after seeing them only in textbooks. I have a great appreciation for art and so I enjoyed it 100%. For those of you who don't know who Auguste Rodin was, he was a French artist, most famous as a sculptor. He was the preeminent French sculptor of his time, and remains one of the few sculptors widely recognized outside the visual arts community.

These are some of his most famous scultures.
