I am in the process of trying to put together a rental policy for our
museum.  I was wondering how other museums handle museum admissions
and
rentals.  Do you give a discounted per person rate to groups renting a
room
in the museum?  Also, how do you handle groups which want you to
provide
tours during non-museum hours?  Do you charge a flat rental rate or a
per
person charge?

We will be offering room rentals during museum operating hours and
after
hours.  Our museum is adjacent to a catering facility so there will be
groups who  may want to visit the museum during off hours but are not
renting space in the museum.

Any suggestions would be great.
