I actually don't know what my own museum's policy is, but I know that when visiting any other museum, anywhere, I definitely try "I work at a museum" and show my business card and ID. It gets me in free almost everywhere - definitely big museums. Usually it gets in one guest of mine too, but sometimes just me. I can name on one hand the places it didn't work - usually very small regional museums.
This is may be outside your inquiry, but do you know about NARM? North American Reciprocal Museum Association. If you're an institutional member, you can offer as a perk to your members free admission to any other museum in the network.

Does anyone offer free admission and other perks to the staff of other museums in their regional area? If so, does it include just regular admission, admission to special exhibitions, discounts to café/gift shop? Any help is greatly appreciated.
