Exhibition « Camille Claudel and Bernhard Hoetger » at the Musée Camille Claudel
The Camille Claudel Museum invites you to discover, starting from September 2026, an exceptional exhibition presented at the Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum in Bremen and at the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin in 2025, “Camille Claudel and Bernhard Hoetger”.
The exhibition brings together the works of two artists whose paths crossed on multiple occasions in Paris at the turn of the 20th century: Camille Claudel and Bernhard Hoetger. Both were in search of recognition and shared the desire to break free from the influence of the sculpture master, Auguste Rodin. In 1905, the works of the French sculptor were exhibited within the gallery of the dealer Eugène Blot, alongside those of the German artist, who was ten years her junior. Amidst the avant-garde, each artist developed a unique artistic vitality, whose influence transcends borders. Over 120 years later, these two major figures of sculpture are once again brought together for this exhibition.

MUSEE CAMILLE CLAUDEL
Camille Claudel was living in Nogent-sur-Seine when, as a teenager, she confirmed her vocation as an artist.
It was here that she met the sculptor Alfred Boucher, who understood her exceptional talent and was able to advise her on her apprenticeship, first in Nogent-sur-Seine and then in Paris.
Today, the house in which she lived forms one wing of the vast building that houses the museum.
Forty-five works by Camille Claudel reveal all the stages and facets of her artistic career. They follow a group of 150 sculptures representative of the very rich production of her time, from Alfred Boucher to Auguste Rodin, via Paul Dubois and Antoine Bourdelle.
This perspective shows the extent to which Camille Claudel was in tune with her time, while at the same time standing out from it in a profoundly original way.
A rich program of temporary exhibitions, lectures, events, guided tours and modeling workshops for families and young visitors is on offer all year round.
