Talk:National museums of the United Kingdom

I included the 'other countries' in my original list. I denoted only 22 'National' Museums as Westminster pays for those - that is the UK Parliament so those are not 'English' they are just all in England... Technical difference. There is no 'English' Nationality you see. Westminster won't allow it. Though as a Yorkshireman I'd rather see a Yorkshire Assembly than an English one. Certainly no slight on Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland was intended - after all I included them all. Bat King


 * As an erstwhile Yorkshireman myself, I take your point, and have made some edits which I hope better reflect the position of the UK museums. My intention in renaming the page was to differentiate the UKs national museums with national museums in, say, France, Brazil, or wherever. I added some references too, and I note that the DCMS makes a distinction between 'National' museums established by Act of Parliament, and 'Sponsored' museums, so I made that distinction here too.

Ah, now I see yer point. The French have a national identity of course.

Neat edit too. Well done. Bat King

Beaulieu
Someone added National Motor Museum, Beaulieu to the list. But this article defines "national museums" as being "owned and operated by the state"; it seems that Beaulieu is owned and operated by a charitable trust. So it doesn't seem to belong here - having "national museum" in the title of the organisation isn't enough. In fixing the errors introduced by the IP when adding Beaulieu, I've removed it, and I don't think we should add it, unless I've misunderstood the nature of its ownership. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 11:15, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
