The Fondation Pierre Gianadda in Martigny presents « Rodin selon Rilke » until Sunday 22 November 2026. The exhibition pairs sculptures by Auguste Rodin with texts by the poet Rainer Maria Rilke.
The story
Rilke, born in Prague in 1875, published a monograph on Rodin in March 1903. He then stayed with the sculptor in Meudon. Their relationship lasted about eleven years.
This is the fourth exhibition the Fondation has devoted to Rodin, this time on a new theme.
Who organises it
The exhibition is organised by the Musée Rodin in Paris and hosted by the Fondation Pierre Gianadda. The curator is Véronique Mattiussi.
What to find
The tour unfolds in several chapters. Each one sets major works by Rodin alongside extracts from Rilke.
A catalogue accompanies the exhibition. An audio guide is available in French, English and German.
A free public guided tour, in French, takes place on Wednesdays from 7 pm to 9 pm. A tour for visually impaired people is offered with the association « Dis m’en plus ! », by booking on +41 27 722 39 78.
