Rodin Museum: A Philadelphia Wedding Venue With Parisian Garden Style

The Rodin Museum is a Philadelphia wedding venue on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway that feels a little like someone quietly dropped a Parisian garden into Center City. The Beaux-Arts-style museum, formal gardens and reflecting pool surround one of the largest public collections of Auguste Rodin’s work outside Paris, with The Thinker greeting guests at the entrance.

Event Spaces at the Rodin Museum

The Rodin works especially well for intimate weddings and events that move between indoors and out.

Key spaces include:

• Dorrance H. Hamilton Garden for outdoor ceremonies and receptions

• Reflecting pool and formal gardens for portraits and cocktail hour

• Museum galleries for indoor receptions and private gatherings

• Beaux-Arts architecture throughout the building and grounds

• The Thinker positioned at the garden entrance, because apparently the guest list needed one more very recognizable face

The Philadelphia Museum of Art currently describes the Rodin as a romantic setting for intimate vows, toasts and gallery or garden receptions.
