"Although the government has passed legislation creating incentives for private individuals to open museums, they have not provided concrete financial support," says Liao Kuei-ying, assistant curator at the Chang Foundation. Most government resources are concentrated on a few large museums. Government-funded museums like the astronomical museum or maritime museum can spend from budgets in the tens of billions. Private museums must rely on themselves.
「政府雖曾立法獎勵私人博物館，卻沒有實際的經費補助」，鴻禧美術館副館長廖桂英表示，政府的資源大部分集中在少數的大型博物館上，一個天文博物館或海洋博物館，動輒耗資千億預算，民間博物館的營運經費卻都要靠自己籌措，除了少數由企業贊助，其他博物館多少靠門票補貼收入。
