The maps illustrate the layout of a museum in 1998 and the changes that were made by 2008.
Overall, it is clear that the museum underwent significant modernization during this period, with new facilities being added and several existing ones relocated. The most notable developments were the construction of a restaurant, the relocation of some rooms, and improvements made to the garden area.
In 1998, visitors entered the museum through the central ticket office. To the left of the entrance there was a temporary exhibition room, while on the right-hand side, a shop was located next to the WC and the bags and coats area. The central part of the museum was occupied by a garden, with a café situated directly above it. Surrounding all these sections were permanent exhibition rooms.
By 2008, the layout had been altered considerably. A restaurant was introduced in the upper left corner, while the café remained above the garden, now accompanied by a café sitting area. The WC was moved to the top-right corner of the museum, replacing its previous location. In addition, the bags and coats area was relocated to the bottom left corner, and the shop was shifted slightly towards the centre. The garden itself was also modernised, with fountains and a designated sitting space added, making it a more attractive feature for visitors.
In summary, the museum became more visitor-friendly between 1998 and 2008 through the addition of a restaurant and enhanced leisure facilities, as well as the relocation of several service areas.
