Art Museum curators undertake research projects to study the permanent collection as well as related objects in other collections. Some are joint projects with colleagues or overseas scholars. Recent projects, supported by competitive grants, involve studies of paintings, calligraphy, seals, rubbings, ceramics, and using modern tools and techniques to authenticate and date Chinese artefacts. Some recent research projects include:

- Analysis of Ceramic Finds from Penny's Bay, Hong Kong
- A Comprehensive Study of Song Rubbings of the Chunhuage tie
- A Study of the Art of Chen Hongshou
- Studies of Ancient Chinese Gold Ornaments using Surface Science Techniques
- A Study on the Devolution and Impact of the Chunhuage tie
