Is there a specific scheme set up? And do the students have  a different curriculum than other university-only degrees? And, do students respond to a call or are they often employees (The question is perhaps more: do you think museums would just let people approach them with the suggestion, it seems like it might be a lot of work for them?)

You just appointed yourself Resident Expert by replying so quickly!

It does happen in the UK but usually in  conjunction with an HE institution. Can think of at least two current PhDs at Leicester, for example (with Tate and Statens Museum for Kunst).
