The given maps illustrate the layout of a local museum and its nearby surroundings over the course of 50 years, from 1957.
Overall, it can be seen that the mentioned area has transformed into a more recreational place. Significant changes were made to the expansion of multi-functional museum-based rooms.
In 1957, the museum was located in the east of the map, surrounded by a garden. The given place had only three rooms: a national history exhibition,a local history room and a museum-store room. While the local history room was placed on the left side of the plan facing the museum-store room, the remaining space on the top was used for the exhibition. In addition, connected to the entrance hall, there was a pathway leading through the garden to the roadway in the southern part.
Turning to the reconstructed version in 2007, the garden in the top north had been reduced to only the west for rooms for the museum. Remarkably, on the top of the museum’s floor, the special exhibitions and the education centre were next to each other, but in separate rooms. An open space was used as the local history room, which was in the heart of the whole museum and double its previous size. At the bottom of the museum was the reception with a coffee shop on the right. The old pathway was destroyed, and the main entrance had been moved to the west, leading to a museum shop. Having cleared part of the garden in the south, a car park had been introduced in order to adapt to customers’ demands.
