"Rodin and Michelangelo: A Study in Artistic Inspiration" was an exhibition featuring the drawings and sculptures of both artists that opened at the PMA on March 27, 1997. The exhibition was organized to suggest what Rodin learned from Michelangelo and how he translated it into his own work. Curated by Christopher Riopelle, the exhibition first opened at Casa Buonarotti in Florence, and then came to PMA. The records are largely administrative, and include loan documentation, correspondence, object lists, and other general plannig material.
