Deputy director Liang Kuang-yu notes that there isn't much of a tradition of private donations to museums in Taiwan, but the NMNS is an exception: academic institutions and individuals from both Taiwan and abroad have been happy to provide items to the museum that were fruits of a lifetime of research.
副館長梁光余表示，國內捐贈私人藏品給博物館的風氣仍很淡薄，但科博館卻是一個例外，國內外不少學術單位與個人，都樂意將畢生研究所得捐贈給科博館。
