Rodin Museum

2151 Benjamin Franklin Pkwy. Philadelphia, PA 19130

Tucked along the Ben Franklin Parkway, the Rodin Museum is a refined, romantic stop for wedding day portraits or engagement sessions. Known for its serene entrance, reflecting pool, and manicured gardens, the space offers an intimate, Parisian-inspired feel right in the heart of Philadelphia.

Whether you’re planning a first look or adding it to your photo itinerary between venues, the museum’s classical architecture and soft, sculptural surroundings create an elegant visual frame. The museum’s entrance is especially photogenic, with stone columns, seasonal florals, and calming symmetry that work beautifully for formal and candid shots alike.

For additional variety, consider stepping next door to the Barnes Foundation—its landscaped 4.5-acre grounds and clean modern lines add depth to your gallery while keeping travel time minimal. Currently, there is no permit required for photography sessions.
