Comment	Someone mentioned the Kelvingrove art gallery, but I’d go one step further. Most galleries and museums have big storage facilities where they keep artefacts that aren’t on display for whatever reason. Maybe it’s too delicate. Maybe its something that’s controversial to display to the public, like human bones or something that’s been looted during a conflict. Maybe the museum just doesn’t quite have the room for it. Maybe the museum is in the process of repatriating the item to its country of origin (side note- the kelvingrove is a pioneer when it comes to repatriation). These storage facilities are often climate controlled and often have a decent level of security in place. The storage facility for the Kelvingrove is the Glasgow Museums Resource Centre (GMRC). The website says: “The 17 purpose-built and environmentally controlled storage ‘pods’ house around 1.4 million objects. In fact, only 2% of our collections are on display at any one time and the majority of the remaining objects are stored here”. Someone already mentioned that an industrial estate is a good shout, since it’s away from the major population centres. The GMRC is located at the south Nitshill industrial estate. It’s perfect. It’s a huge building that’s easy to barricade and to hide in. It has presumably tight security. It’s in a sparsely populated area and it’s unlikely to be very busy when a zombie apocalypse starts. There’s probably at least one food warehouse nearby. I’m unlikely to get bored since I’m surrounded by history everywhere I look. I can’t think of a better place to hide.
