The Musée Camille Claudel is a French national museum which honors and exhibits the works of sculptor Camille Claudel. The museum, which holds the world's biggest collection of Claudel's art, opened in 2017 in her teenage home town of Nogent-sur-Seine, 100 kilometers (62 miles) southeast of Paris. The museum displays approximately half of Claudel's existing work.[1][2][3]

Plans were announced in 2003 to turn the Claudel family home at Nogent-sur-Seine into a museum, and it was negotiating to buy works from the Claudel family. These include 70 pieces by Claudel, including a bust of her teacher, Auguste Rodin. The two soon became associates, lovers, and eventually rivals.[4]

Many of Claudel's sculptures can also be seen at the Musée Rodin in Paris, which has a room dedicated to her work and her association with the acclaimed sculptor.
