I like to visit museums in Paris in the evening, when they are less crowded and I'm not missing a pretty day in the park or on the Seine. Then I go for a romantic late dinner.
But I wouldn't assume gorgeous weather every day for April. It rains a lot in Paris in Spring. So the best advice is to stay very flexible.
I would buy the museum pass, but I wouldn't force myself into museums just to get my "money's worth" out of them. Think of it as a good insurance policy.
Also, one of the truly great advantages of a museum pass is that you can easily visit the same museum more than once, and therefore take in a huge place like the Louvre in digestible bites rather than marathon stays.

adawson...the museum pass can be purchased at any of the museums where it is valid. if you go the pass's website you can see what sights are included.

Ihs, I was recently in NYC and bought their museum pass. The problem was most of the museums had a special exhibition and I ended up paying extra. At the Natural History Museum they would not deduct the $14 pass amount from the $31 total to see everything. A rip off. I do not know if this is the situation in Paris so I am unsure if I will get the pass.
