The Reptilian Gallery entrance.
The Reptilian Gallery is an art gallery located in Hyde Park. In The Getaway, it is owned by Shan Chu Lee and the Triads and hosts Chinese art, specifically an event called Treasure from China. The only time the gallery is ever seen in The Getaway, is in Mission 3, Art Appreciation. Mark Hammond is instructed by Charlie Jolson to pay this gallery a visit and crash the Triads party. In the gallery basement, there is an expensive statue, which is an ornament for the garden, called a terra cotta soldier. The statue isn't big, but it is fragile, and has a stupid grin. It's also a historical heirloom that contains a kilo of smack. The 14K Triads move smack from the gallery basement, and Charlie wants Mark to go in through the front door of the gallery and retrieve the statue for him.
Mark reluctantly obeys this job and heads on over to the gallery. The gallery is having an expedition on, so there are innocent people walking around looking at all the paintings and sculptures on display at the gallery. Mark kills all of the Triads at the gallery as well as damaging some of the priceless statues on display. While this happens, the art crowd escapes and Mark steals the statue. Mark then makes a getaway in a stolen car with the Triads chasing after him. Shan Chu Lee, Fu Shan Chu, and Kum Dong watch Mark escape and think he is still a member of the Collins gang, who they blame for the loss of their men and the stolen statue. After this mission, the gallery is never seen or mentioned again.
The Reptilian Gallery, as seen in The Getaway: Black Monday, now hosting African Odyssey.
In The Getaway: Black Monday, the Reptilian Gallery still exists but it is no longer hosting the event Treasure from China and is instead hosting an event called African Odyssey. This would suggest the Reptilian Gallery is no longer under the control of the Triads and was bought by a new owner.
In The Getaway: Black Monday, you are able to access the area where the Reptilian Gallery is and look around the grounds, but you can't get inside. In The Getaway, in Free Roaming mode, you are able to visit the gallery and walk around the outside of it, but are unable to actually enter it. Just around the corner from this gallery is the Hyde Park Mansion, a secret location that contains a number of rare and fast cars that can be driven in Free Roaming mode only. You cannot get into the mansion in The Getaway: Black Monday.
