Largest Rodin Collection?

[edit]

The page for Museo Soumaya claims it has 380 pieces by Rodin and that it has the largest collection of Rodin outside Paris while this page claims that the Rodin Museum in Philadelphia has the largest collection yet the Philadelphia museum's website claims only 124 pieces. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chatsphilly (talkcontribs) 05:13, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek

[edit]

The page for the Glyptotek claims that it is the most important collection of Rodin's work outside of Paris, but it, like the Philadelphia museum's page, does not cite the claim... Which one is right? Anyone know any citations? nf utvol (talk) 15:55, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes I can't tell Philadelphia from Paris!

[edit]

The "image gallery" section of the page includes an image of The Thinker. But it's an image of the original 1902 cast, which is held at the Musée Rodin in Paris, as you can tell by clicking through to the image's page (or merely looking at it, if you're familiar with either Philadelphia's or Paris's Rodin Museum).

It seems to me that the Rodin Museum's image gallery should include only pictures of the actual works in the Museum. Is that not the standard? (Does Wikipedia have a standard here?). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.123.89.93 (talk) 14:37, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"The Kiss"

[edit]

"The Kiss" was long ago banished to Memorial Hall in Fairmount Park, and after the conversion of that building into the Please Touch Museum, who knows where that copy of the famous sculpture has gone now. In any case, it should not be in this article, and I will remove it. This talk page item serves to document the deletion. --DThomsen8 (talk) 14:33, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rodin Museum Philadelphia and Stanford, CA

[edit]

Wikipedia states that Philadelphia has the largest Rodin collection (bronzes) outside of Paris and so does Stanford - Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University. Who is right? I understand that this will all be eclipsed by Mexico City later this year! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.71.46.197 (talk) 20:56, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
