History
Once a prestigious art gallery during the 1960's, the Thornhill Museum was owned by an eccentric South African millionaire, Hermann Pretorius, who finally closed it down for unknown reasons in 1977.
The museum was bought out by another Malton millionaire, Thornton Mallett, who leased out the structure in question as offices. In 2005, as the Zombie outbreak began to engulf Malton, the Thornhill Museum was used as a military screening area for those wishing to flee the city. As the soldiers soon became swamped with desperate civilians who had already been infected, they were forced to shoot nearly a hundred people seeking refuge here.
Those who were deemed 'infected' were, according to rumor, then dragged into the museum's back rooms and shot, since there were far too many to process and the military had no idea if curing these men and women was even possible. About four weeks into the outbreak, the soldiers were replaced by members of a private security company, which fortified the building with barbed wire fences, and made overhead passes with an armored helicopter to ensure that no unauthorized persons got in--or out. Bulldozers dumped the bodies of all infected Survivors slain into a bonfire to ensure they did not rise again as Zombies, but eventually there were too many corpses to destroy, and some had already began to resurrect as undead.
Panicking, the security personnel evacuated in a hurry, leaving the rooms of the Thornhill Museum still filled with Survivors who were awaiting screening. In the bloodbath that followed, the museum became one of the most infamous locations in Shore Hills. Men, women, and children were massacred indiscriminately. Many were never recovered. Zombies also began to rise out of the mass burial pits outside, and soon the river of blood flowing from Thornhill's open doors indicated that the building had been overrun. A collection of old paintings can still be found in storage, but today many of the museum's rooms sit empty. The stench of death still fills its murky maze of corridors, and the hearts of all those brave enough to seek shelter there.
