Camille Claudel and Bernhard Hoetger” exhibition at the Musée Camille Claudel
Camille Claudel and Bernhard Hoetger” exhibition at the Musée Camille Claudel
From September 2026, the Camille Claudel Museum invites you to discover 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 ».
This exhibition brings together works by 2 artists whose paths crossed on numerous occasions in Paris at the turn of the 20th century: Camille Claudel and Bernhard Hoetger. Both were on the same quest for recognition, and shared a desire to emancipate themselves from the influence of the master of sculpture, Auguste Rodin. In 1905, the works of the French sculptor were exhibited in the gallery of art dealer Eugène Blot, alongside those of the German artist, 10 years her junior. In the midst of the avant-garde, each artist developed a singular artistic vivacity, whose influence transcended borders. More than 120 years later, these two major figures in sculpture are once again reunited for the duration of 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.
