There's a great new show of Rodin in St James' from 7 Jun to 27 July. It includes one of the other reduced size versions of the Kiss. and several other well-known works. I walk past the full-size 'Burghers of Calais' (by Parliament) fairly often and there is a cast of its maquette also in the show:
Link to the catalogue here: well worth a click through to the direct pages showing the individual works on show.
I suspect you have found a different exhibition. The one in Duke Street/St James is a walk-in gallery, although the Rodin pieces on show are pretty pricey.
I did (today) take a detour to have a peek - and was the only person at the time. Pictures/blog entry to follow over the next few days.
Rashbre: thanks for that. I'll pop over soon. I haven't heard from Naomi for a while and just realised I have a new email address and fear I was half way through letting people know when I was ill. Very disorganised.
Grand mother but still a girl at heart. Married to MTL(my true love)after a separation of 30 years. Had three careers: trained paediatric nurse, National photographic model and business woman. Now settled in SW and enjoying our five children and ten grandchildren and making the most of what time we have left.
In January 2013 I lost MTL.

What a thoughtful, classy thing to do. Two masterpieces; The Kiss and your son.
