The maps illustrate the change in the local museum between 1957 and 2007.
Overall, it is clear that the museum underwent significant development, becoming more expanded and modernised. While some facilities were removed, others were added. In the early years, the museum consisted of a simple structure surrounded by a large garden, with a path leading to the main entrance, the local history section, the museum store, and the national history exhibition. However, by 2007, the garden was reduced in size, while the national history exhibition, museum storeroom was removed and some new facilities were added, including special exhibitions, education centre, café, museum shop, reception and car park.
In 1957, the museum offered fewer facilities. The museum was in the left-hand central area, which was surrounded by a large garden. The road was located at the bottom of the layout, which led to the entrance hall. While the local history room was positioned on the left side of the hall, the museum storeroom was on the right side. The national history room was positioned just above them, which had more space.
By 2007, the museum underwent major rebuilding and offered more accessible facilities. The garden was reduced in size. The local history room was expanded, and there were special exhibitions and an education centre located above it. The museum storeroom was demolished and replaced by a café, while the reception was positioned on the left side of it. The museum shop was added on the left side of the reception, and the entrance was right there. The car park was constructed at the bottom of the museum and above the road.
