The maps describe how the first floor of an art has changed since 2005.
In 2005, the gallery had 4 exhibition rooms in total, 3 of which lined up on the east side, while the other was to the left from the entrance. Directly facing the entrance was a round reception counter, immediately before the stairs in the north wing. A café could be in the north-west corner, with a gallery office to its south.
The gallery ground floor has seen some major changes over the years. Although the exhibition rooms along the east side remain intact, the fourth exhibition room has been repurposed into a temporary exhibition and a children’s area. The reception counter has been relocated to the center, and it now faces the newly-built entrance hall by the entrance. The café and gallery office have also been converted into a gallery shop and an area for a vending machine. Finally, accessibility of the gallery has greatly improved with the addition of a lift by the stairs and a ramp for wheel chair to the left of the entrance.
Overall, the art gallery has been made more convenient with the addition of new facilities such as a children’s area and a gallery shop, albeit at the expense of some old features. Of particular note is the construction of a ramp for wheelchair and a lift, which has made the gallery more accessible to the disabled.
