He created this museum to feature original castings and carvings, as well as excellent copies of some of Rodin&#8217;s best known works. Many of the bronze castings were made after Rodin&#8217;s death from molds of the originals. No photograph can do justice to the huge &#8220;Gates of Hell&#8221; sculpture, which includes some 200 figures in every conceivable pose. It is about 20 feet high, and outstanding in every way.
