Glasgow Museums Resource Centre (GMRC) is the store for the museums' collections when they are not on display at our venues.
It is a vast building with rooms full of fantastic objects, from animals to armour, fine art to fossils, and much, much more. The main collections stored here are Art and Paintings, Arms and Armour, Natural History, Technology and World Cultures.
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.
Behind the Scenes tours are back!
Find the amazing museum collections that are all stored away waiting to be discovered on our weekly behind the scenes tour.
Spend an hour discovering this very special building for yourself and some of the highlights of the 1.4 million treasures it holds.
