The organisation is sponsored by the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure[1] to promote 'history, art, science and the culture of the people of Northern Ireland'.
In 2018, National Museums Northern Ireland joined with the National Maritime Museum, Titanic Belfast and Titanic Foundation Limited in a failed bid to purchase 5,500 relics for the RMS Titanic that were an asset of the bankrupt Premier Exhibitions.[2][3][4][5]
