A national museum is a museum maintained by a nation. In many countries, for example the United States, it denotes a museum run by the central government, and often is restricted to a few museums, mostly in the capital, while other museums are run by regional or local government, or foundations. In other countries, for example Italy, a much larger number of museums are run by central government, some quite small. Some national museums use the term in their name, but others do not; some museums just adopt the term as a matter of branding.
