Chen Kuo-ning, curator of the Hwa Kang Museum at the Chinese Culture University, has done a study of museums in the Taiwan area. Statistics that she published in 1996 show that the number of museums in Taiwan exceeded 130 at that time. These extended to every corner of Taiwan from Keelung at the northernmost tip to Hengchun at the southernmost, and even as far as the offshore islands of Penghu.
中國文化大學華岡博物館館長陳國寧曾長期針對台灣地區博物館進行調查，在民國八十五年的統計結果顯示，國內大小博物館總數已超過一百三十所，它們北自基隆、南到恆春，遠及澎湖群島，遍佈台灣各角落。
