When the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation donated 30 works by french sculptor Auguste Rodan to the North Carolina Art Museum in Raleigh, it gave the museum the largest collection of works by Rodan between Philadelphia and the West Coast.
The Rodan Garden, outside the West Building, is a beautiful place to sit and enjoy the sculptures. The reflecting pond, with its lily pads, are quite beautiful. An added benefit is the garden rarely has more than one or two people, so you can enjoy the day in peace.
