According to Taiwan media reports on May 27, due to the impact of the epidemic, all walks of life in Taiwan have suffered major losses. The third-level warning was implemented in May last year, which made many businesses unable to hold on. Among them, Taipei Palace Museum also had a "hard disaster". It is understood that the Taipei Palace Museum has only 410,000 tourists in 2021, and the ticket revenue is only 10 million ( New Taiwan Dollars , the same below), making the president Wu Micha sigh "terrible".
The legislative body of the Taiwan authorities held a special report on "Progress, Review and Future Planning for the New Palace Museum" yesterday (26th), which was inquired by Wu Micha, director of the Taipei Palace Museum. In 2021, the Taipei Palace Museum had only 410,000 tourists, with an average of more than 1,100 people a day. Compared with 3.83 million in 2019, the difference is 10 times faster, and the almost avalanche decline made Wu Micha say it was terrible.
According to the Hong Kong "China Review News Agency", Kuomintang "legislator" Wan Meiling pointed out that the epidemic is so hot that the Taipei Palace Museum also burns. In just two years, the ticket revenue of the Taipei Palace Museum has dropped from 830 million yuan to more than 10 million yuan, and the figures from January to April this year are even more terrible, and the hospital needs to propose solutions. Wu Micha admitted that he had been the president for almost three years, and the situation was indeed as severe as Wan Meiling said. He pointed out that the hospital has used many methods to work hard, but unfortunately, under the epidemic, this is the case.
Wan Meiling further stated that everyone knows the overall environmental problems, but has the Taipei Palace Museum actively improved? She pointed out that cultural and creative products are loved by many collectors, but the related revenue has also dropped from 500 million yuan in 2019 to 100 million yuan in 2021. Now that the Internet is developed, more marketing channels should be expanded. Wu Micha said that he will work hard to strengthen sales in online malls.
In addition, at yesterday's business report meeting, regarding the group reform issue of the Taipei Palace Museum, although the list of group reforms proposed by the DPP administrative agency in May was not included in the Taipei Palace Museum, many "legislators" still emphasized that if they were downgraded from level 2 to level 3, it would affect the professionalism of the Taipei Palace Museum. The president should actively discuss and insist on defending the position of the Palace Museum.
Wan Meiling pointed out that no matter whether the Taipei Palace Museum will maintain the status quo or be reorganized, as the president, we should actively express our opinions that we should master the position of the Taipei Palace Museum in the future, including the timeline of the possible group reform, which will have a great impact on the overall operating model.
Korean Party "legislator" Lin Yihua also pointed out that Wu Micha still expressed his willingness to include the cultural authorities of the DPP authorities as a third-level agency. Compared with the reasoned struggle of Xie Xiaoxing, chairman of the "Original Energy Association", Wu Micha "has not defended the Taipei Palace Museum" and his downgraded budget and human resources will actually be much different.
