Where were the collections held during the restoration?
The 200,000 objects from Kelvingrove were moved to new purpose-built, state-of-the-art storage facilities at Glasgow Museums Resource Centre in Nitshill, Glasgow, while the restoration work was being done. Two hundred of the most popular objects were put on display at McLellan Galleries in the exhibition Art Treasures of Kelvingrove. The exhibition ran from April 2003 until October 2005 and helped retain public access to the collection, and sustain interest in the project.
