PHILADELPHIA, PA .- A gloriously rejuvenated garden landscape surrounding the Rodin Museum was unveiled today by the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which administers the Rodin Museum and Gardens; the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society; and Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, completing a three-year collaboration that revitalizes the site’s extraordinary harmony of art and nature. Leaders of the city’s cultural and philanthropic communities celebrated the rebirth of the Rodin Museum and Gardens’ grounds and toured the courtyard and exterior gardens, which now enhance the entire block between 21st and 22nd Streets on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Bastille Day was chosen as the date on which to celebrate in order to honor French sculptor Auguste Rodin as well as Paul Cret and Jacques Gréber, the original designers of the museum building, landscape, and Parkway.
