Musée Camille Claudel in Nogent-sur-Seine has announced a guided visit titled 'Camille Claudel et Auguste Rodin' for Tuesday, August 4, 2026, from 3 to 4 pm, with a second session listed for Tuesday, August 11 at the same time. The museum says the one-hour tour focuses on the works in its parcours and on the years of close artistic connection between the two sculptors Camille Claudel and Auguste Rodin, who also lived a passionate love affair.
The announcement appears in the museum’s August newsletter and on the event page, which pairs the guided visit with an image of Claudel’s 'L'Âge mûr' from 1899. The museum frames the visit as a way to read the collection through the relationship between the two artists, placing emphasis on the period of “profound connivence” and artistic links that shaped their work.
Musée Camille Claudel is located at 10 rue Gustave Flaubert in Nogent-sur-Seine. According to the event page, the guided visit lasts one hour and costs 4 euros in addition to the museum admission ticket. Reservation is recommended, and the page provides online booking options as well as telephone and email contact details.
The museum’s broader programming for August includes other guided experiences that explore its collections through different approaches, including a sensory visit on July 26 and again on August 14 and 23, both from 3 to 4 pm, and practical art workshops for young audiences later in the month. Those activities sit alongside the Rodin-Claudel tour in the newsletter, but the museum presents them as separate offerings.
The institution’s online description of 'Camille Claudel et Auguste Rodin' positions the visit within the museum’s permanent parcours rather than as a stand-alone exhibition. The route is intended to bring the pair’s artistic relationship into focus through selected works, rather than through a retrospective or a temporary display.
The museum is also preparing a major temporary exhibition later in the year, 'Camille Claudel & Bernhard Hoetger : l'exposition de 1905', scheduled from September 12, 2026, to January 10, 2027. That project, developed with the museum Paula Modersohn-Becker in Bremen and the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin, will revisit a 1905 display in Eugène Blot’s gallery and bring together nearly 90 works, including sculpture, drawing, painting and photography. For the August guided visit, however, the focus remains on Claudel and Rodin, and on the works that illuminate their years of close artistic exchange.
