Although the museum's 200,000 objects represent only a fourth of those evacuated from the Imperial Palace in the 1930's and a mere fraction of the millions originally housed there, art historians agree that the museum holds the cream of the palace collection.
從數量上來說，外雙溪故宮博物院廿多萬件的收藏，只是當年南遷文物數量的四分之一；若再與當年宮中以百萬計的數量比較，不免相去更遠。
