Short answers here. The full detail lives in the visiting guide.
Garden first on a dry morning: five of the eleven essential works stand outdoors. Then the house: The Age of Bronze (Room 3), The Kiss (5) and the Danaïd (7), and upstairs The Cathedral (10) and The Walking Man (17).
Closed Mondays, plus Jan 1, May 1 and Dec 25. Last entry is 17:45. Quietest at 10:00 on a weekday, before tour groups arrive around 11:00.
Not for individual visitors, but it's worth it on weekends and sunny days. Entry is free for everyone on the first Sunday from October to March. A combined ticket with the Orsay is available.
11 must-sees, split between the garden, with The Thinker and the great bronzes, and the house, with the more intimate work.
It's an audio tour of about 2 hours, half of it in the garden, with 82 stories.
