In addition to housing some of the most important works in the world of art, the Musee Rodin has witnessed an intriguing history. Built in the early 1700s, the mansion was the residence to several renowned artists, including Matisse, Dunkin, Cocteau and Rilke, before becoming the permanent home of Rodin. However, Rodin would not carry out the rest of his days as owner of the house, for it was taken over by the state in 1911, six years before he died. Nevertheless, after Rodin agreed to turn over his collections to the state in 1916, the mansion was transformed into a museum devoted to the artist no more than a year later.
