The maps provide information about the changes that have taken place in the layout of a particular indigenous museum over a fifty-year period (1957-2007).
From an overall perspective, the most noticeable development has been the reduction of trees, making the museum appear more barren. It is also worth noting that the building has been expanded, opening up more space for several amenities.
The former structure of the museum had been a tree-rich environment, while there were few practical facilities. The building, in 1957, was covered by trees on four sides except for the eastern part. On the northwestern part of the museum space, a garden was situated. The museum itself was located on the eastern side, and a path had been directed to the museum from the road. Once entering the museum from the entrance hall, a museum store-room could be seen on the left-hand side, while a local history room was in the opposite direction. Additionally, the National History Exhibition Room was located on the northern side of the building, directly accessible by heading straight from the main hall.
Within fifty years, the area underwent some radical changes. Although the garden located in the northern corner remained intact, the majority of the trees have been cleared away to open up space for a car parking slot and for the expansion of the building. The interior structure of the building underwent a complete shift, with the introduction of new facilities. Special exhibitions and education centre rooms were added in the northern part of the building, while in the midsection a local history room and a reception could be found. It is also important to mention that by the entrance, one could encounter the museum shop, and a cafe on the southeastern side of the building. Notably, the museum shop was near the entrance, with a café located on the southeastern side of the building.
