\n <\/p>\n Though the rococo museum, showcasing the world\u2019s largest collection of Rodin sculptures, remains closed, visitors are now able to enter the sculpture-filled surrounding garden that overlooks the gold dome of Les Invalides monument. It had been shuttered since November and reopened Saturday.<\/p>\n Now, the pink viburnum is in bloom, and forsythia buds poke out between the bronze forms.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s fantastic,\u201d Matthew Cordell, an American resident of Paris, said Sunday. \u201cIt\u2019s been a tough confinement. . . . We chose to live in Paris because we love the museums so it\u2019s really nice to be able to get out and see some art.\u201d<\/p>\n Others appreciated the setting, even if they were undecided by the artist himself. \u201cComing back to culture is extremely important, even if I\u2019m not exactly a Rodin fan,\u201d visitor Philippe Boirel said Sunday.<\/p>\n
