The National Palace Museum has been forcibly politicized, Lin said, unable to attain a cultural status above politics. He expressed his hope that future directors of the museum would be scholars and that the museum would be free from politics.
他說，這也跟故宮被放在政治位階，始終無法走出應有的文化學術超然的地位有關，他希望未來的院長由專業人士擔任，政治角力要退出故宮。
