Get involved and kill the raiders. Once this is done, you will be able to speak to Pickman who will then give you the key to the gallery.

By doing this you will end the quest. Except there is an alternate ending. Indeed, during this quest, you will discover that Pickman is a character who is morally far from being a “good guy”. On the contrary, he is a serial killer.

Indeed, if you kill Pickman, you will be able to collect the key from his corpse. If you choose to leave him alive, From time to time you will find his business card on the body of a looter that you will find dead. So make the choice that will be most consistent with your way of playing.
