The collection of cultural artifacts held by the National Palace Museum is composed of an enormous treasure trove of objects inherited from the previous Sung, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The Central Government made the decision to send the most precious objects in the collections of the Palace Museum and the Preparatory Office to Taiwan.

After arriving in Taichung, the government created the "Joint Managerial Office of the National Central Museum". In 1965 a new museum was built in the Taipei suburb of Wai-shuan-xi.
