Li Tao-ming points out that most of the problems encountered by private museums in Taiwan are usually connected to their own limitations. Although the Sheng Ye Museum had grand hopes of supporting academic research, shortfalls in its income have brought these plans to a halt.
李道明指出，一般台灣私人博物館所遇到的問題多與本身的組織有關，雖然順益博物館在成立的初期亦想支持學術研究，但博物館本身的收益無法自足，導致支助學術研究的計畫必須逐漸喊停。
