    The Thinker by Auguste Rodin is one of the most famous and iconic sculptures of all time. A piece that is much admired and much loved, the 1904 sculpture is currently housed in Paris at the Rodin museum, but there are also numerous later casts that are housed around the world.

The sculpture is on display as part of an exhibition that is on until the end of April. ‘Rodin:Rethinking the…
