 * The Walter Rothschild Museum (aka Walter Rothschild Zoological Museum),
 * Wroughton (there is an article for RAF Wroughton and it may or may not be appropriate to create a separate article for the mussum).
 * Several of the small museums in Tyne and Wear which are sponsored by the DCMS for some reason.

There are more...
Tyne and Wear Museums are sponsored by DCMS because these museums weren't considered to have the same national importance as the Merseyside collections that were "nationalised" to form National Museums Liverpool. However,no regional funding solution was found after the abolition of the Tyne and Wear Metropolitan County Council, and therefore a partnership funding arrangement between central government and the local authorities in the area was eventually agreed.

Another page of the DCMS website 1 also includes the following as sponsored bodies


 * Design Museum
 * National Football Museum
 * People's History Museum
