In terms of ¡§organization¡¨, the adjustment of the National Palace Museum is still not passed by law. How to respond to external forms and adjust internal organization become extremely critical. With regard to ¡§personnel¡¨, most of the personnel in the National Palace Museum have experienced professional training and they are all qualified; the tour guiding quality is excellent and the facilities are new; they contribute to the promotion of art education. As to ¡§the collection¡¨, it includes over 650,000 Chinese antiques, royal and palace articles and literatures. However, the museum should be prepared for the possible antique dispute in the future; as to ¡§exhibition¡¨, besides the internal exhibitions, the National Palace Museum also actively keeps up with the world; holding special exhibitions is one of the most effective ways to increase domestic visitors; in terms of ¡§the building¡¨, the National Palace Museum is built on eastern traditional building with exotic attraction; after reconstruction, the National Palace Museum increases the square measure of exhibition and boutiques and food shops become spacious; as to ¡§location¡¨, it is far away from downtown and inconvenient in terms of transportation.

It increases brand authorization which result in soaring growth of authorization sum. Diverse cross-industrial alliance livens the antiques and increases their economic value. With regard to ¡§community¡¨, the residents in the community can visit the National Palace Museum for free. However, the parking problems still discourages the residents.
