The rodin sculptures on campus specifically the thinker and the gates of hell are reinterpreted in the papua new guinea sculpture garden. Sculpture garden is marvellous magically curated so that the approach adds a special dimension to the experience of viewing the artworks themselves. See original casts of renowned masterpieces like the gates of hell the thinker eternal springtime and others.
Definitely a must see if you are in the area. A century later after numerous reassessments by generations of art historians rodin continues to be recognized for making figurative sculpture modern by redefining the expressive capacity of the human form. Get their just publicity but seeing the burgers of calais and the gates of hell during the sunset at stanford is breathtaking.
The setting for the sculptures takes the shape of a diagonal path through a groundcover of wood chips that weaves from a sunnier open space to a more forested area with a bridge at the back. Those rodin sculptures in paris london legion of honor etc. Even at night it is beautifully lit.
