Rodin Museum and Garden

Philadelphia Museum of Art

Philadelphia, PA

Home to the largest collection of Auguste Rodin’s work outside Paris, the Rodin Museum underwent its first comprehensive renovation since opening in 1929 to restore the historic building to its original splendor.

LF Driscoll managed the careful restoration of the original paint and plaster finishes, marble, wood flooring, millwork, terrazzo floors, and sculpture bases while integrating new track lighting and storm windows within the historic galleries. Mechanical, electrical, security, and lighting systems were upgraded, and the partial basement was renovated to provide additional event and storage space. Throughout the three-year renovation, the team balanced modernization with meticulous preservation to maintain the architectural character and original design intent of this celebrated cultural landmark.
