Rodin Museum

The Rodin Museum in the city of Salvador, Bahia State, was designed by Francisco Fanucci and Marcelo Carvalho Ferraz, and inaugurated on 2006. Rodin masterpieces will be displayed at the main historic renovated building - the Palace Comendador Catharino - and in the gardens. A contemporary addition was built to display temporary exhibits, and it connects to the main building through a bridge overlooking the garden. The integration of the two buildings - that are one century apart in age - and with its gardens express the Brazilian attitude of integration and tolerance. The Museum also serves as a place for gathering, and the exchange of arts and culture.
