The National Heritage and Culture Division is responsible for the promotion of various facets of culture, including architecture, cinema (films), dance, folklore, literature (Mushaira), music, philosophy, textiles, and theatre.

While many of its functions have been devolved to provincial governments in Pakistan, several institutes continue to operate under its federal oversight.
