The maps illustrate how the art gallery ground floor has changed between 2015 and now.
Overall, there are some differences in the arrangement of stairs and office while the entrance and three exhibition rooms seem unchanged. Also it is clear that some facilities have been added indoor and outdoor to serve more visitors.
In 2005, as we can see that the entrance was located in the center of the southern part of the flat. In the center of the gallery was the receptionist, and the stairs were right behind it. From the left of the map, there were exhibitions number 1 to 3 situated respectively, with room 1 and 2 larger than the remains. Opposite to this side, a largest exhibition room in four rooms was placed, which linked to the entrance hall and next to the gallery office.
Today, it is clear that the art gallery opened a new ramp for wheelchairs outside of the ground floor in the entrance. In the interior, the exhibition room 4 is converted into temporary exhibitions and a children’s area, and the gallery is reduced in size, located in the top right corner. There is the introduction of a lift and a vending machine, with the former being set up between a temporary exhibition and gallery office. Besides, the lift is placed on the left side of the narrow stairs, while the receptionist and three exhibition rooms have been intact over the time.
