I don't know any where it is a policy (as in the corporate world) but, yes, I know several at NYU who are being helped by their institutions and no I'm not going to name them (but I'm not one of them). Working in a museum may also help you get grants. I do have a feeling, though, that at some museums it is better to get yourself into the pay track, even at a low salary, than to volunteer.
