To me it implies that there is only one of them in the country unless otherwise indicated, say North and South branches, and that the exhibits are representative of the country as a whole.
However as there in nothing to stop private operators opening museums and calling them whatever they like - including using the word "National" in the title, there presumably must be exceptions to either one or both of these conditions of which you are aware. As otherwise you wouldn't be canvassing people's opinions on the subject.
As to whether any deficiencies in respect of either of the above conditions would ever be actionable in a Court of Law, at least except for those with bottomless pockets, I somehow doubt.

Hah, I remember those but not which company did them.
Remember the four foot aerials on top of minis? And the green shield stamps? Free wine glasses. And "Ask me for a £'s worth" (petrol) About four gallons.
before my time I only ever got three gallons for a pound ....
