It was huge logistical operation that started in 2001 when packing was begun in anticipation of funding being given the go-ahead. It took 50 staff three years to pack and decant the 200,000 objects. They used 7,000 metres of bubble wrap, filled 2,000 boxes and 3,000 trays of natural history and geology specimens, and the vans transporting the objects covered 500 miles travelling between Kelvingrove and the Resource Centre in Nitshill.
