The Rodin Museum was my favorite, hands down. It's set up in a garden that surrounds an old house, and his statues are scattered both inside and outside. Walking around the garden was a very casual, fun way to visit an art exhibit on a sunny day. All of the statues are incredibly expressive - faces in deep thought, or pain, or sadness. The sculpture above is the top of an enormous door called "The Gates of Hell." Notice "The Thinker" on the left? This is the original use of the thinker; as Dante, thinking about the fates of all the damned people.
