Questions about Basilica de Estrela: Nativity Scene, Terrace, Pipe Organ

Greetings!

We will be in the Basilica de Estrela area, so I want to visit the Basilica.

I heard that there is an amazing Nativity Scene made from cork and clay. Is it always on display? I read somewhere that it needs to be reserved if we wanted to visit it. Not sure if it's true.

Terrace access. Could not find how tall the building is. I heard that it's possible to go up to the roof and get an interesting view of the interior of the Basilica from there. Only those who are able (I'm traveling with a group of older folks) might want to check it out. I would not mind myself. In Seville we went up to the Tower of the Cathedral -- it was hard but fun.

The pipe organ. I heard that on Sundays there is Pipe Organ playing. Is it every Sunday? At what time?

Thank you!
