Just read this article about a billionaire private art collector with his own ultra private gallery. Thought it was very interesting, plus it's located in a very posh region and I've always wondered about that one place whenever I drive by there.

Anyway, thought y'all may be inspired by a good adventure plot out of this article.

I mean really, a private billionaire, who buys millions in arts, having his own private gallery (and can outbid many a galleries on the auctions). With its own security staff, situated on 200+ acres with its own walls and private guardhouse. This screams plot for a shadowrun game. Remember, there are apalcas running around on the grounds too... in shadowrun world, make them awakened apalcas*koff*land sharks*koff*... with friggin' lasers on their heads!
