概念点拨:

国立故宫博物院的永久性典藏,主要是继承原先国立北平故宫博物院、国立中央博物院筹备处和国立北平图书馆等机构所藏来自紫禁城、盛京行宫、避暑山庄、颐和园、静宜园和国子监等处皇家旧藏的精华,这批始于10世纪中期帝国统治者的珍藏,不仅流传有绪,反映了帝王们的审美品味,也是中华文化发展历程的一个缩影;此外,还有部分接收自第二次世界大战结束日本归还文物、后来的征集,以及配合嘉义分院规划所拓展的亚洲文物收藏。藏量因为透过各界捐赠和购藏而逐年增加,时间跨度则涵盖新石器时代至今长达8,000年,各类藏品分别交由器物处、书画处、图书文献处和南院处等4个策展部门管理,当中以长篇铭文的青铜器、古代早期的名家书画、善本古籍和官窑瓷器等收藏最具影响力。展厅内是按照文物类别以年代序列系统性地陈设约3,000件展品,器物类展件相隔半年至两年轮换一次,书画和图书文献类展件每3个月定期更换。
