Cooperation is also growing in the area of research. High-level administrators from museums in Taiwan and the mainland make frequent trips back and forth in connection with collaborative research efforts. In 1992, Taipei's National Palace Museum and Beijing's Palace Museum jointly published a book on national treasures in Taiwan and the mainland, thus reuniting (if only on paper) relics that had years earlier gone separate paths.
研究上，兩岸諸多的博物館高階主管經常互相來往，合作研究；台北故宮更在民國八十一底年與北京故宮合作出了一套《國寶薈萃》，讓兩岸文物在紙上團圓，使文化面貌更見齊全。
