The given pictures illustrate how the layout of an art gallery in Australia has changed since 1950 as part of renovation efforts.
Looking at the illustrations, it is immediately evident that while some original features remain unchanged, others, such as the Australian Art section, have been relocated. Additionally, the gallery has undergone significant modifications with the introduction of new features, including a Toilet, a Children’s Art School, an Australian Aboriginal Art section, and an Asian Art section.
Currently, the entrance and the sculpture area remain unchanged. Similarly, the Temporary Exhibition and the Bookshop, located in the left-hand corner near the entrance, have retained their positions, as has the adjoining sculpture area. Furthermore, the Early European Art section and the Middle European Art section, both on the right-hand side of the entrance, have also remained intact. However, the Australian Art section, previously located in the right-hand corner of the building, has now been replaced by the Asian Art section.
In the present day, other notable changes have been made. The most significant transformation is in the Courtyard, previously located at the top and stretching along the building. This space has been divided into three zones: the Children’s Art School, the Australian Aboriginal Art section, and the Australian Art section. Additionally, the Café area, previously situated near the top left corner of the building, has been divided into two zones and now shares the space with a Toilet.
