Well there just simply is no way for it took be totally sheltered from said radiation. Any thing you would try to encapsulate said object would itself receive some radiation, heat up a tiny amount, and reradiate it inside the capsule.

But yes assuming no cosmic radiation is coming in it would tend towards 0, but it will radiate slower and slower.

What about going into the void between galaxies and waiting (long time) until the expansion of space between the next closes object is greater than the speed of light. At that point any light (EMR) aimed in this direction would never reach it.

Then the object placed there, that was above absolute zero, would heat that area up, and they would equalize.

Would there be anything for it to heat up? Would it loose energy from black body radiation with the energy traveling away as light in infrared? Will objects give off BBR all the way to 0k?
