The plans illustrate the changes made to the ground floor of a museum between 1990 and 2010.
Significant modifications were made to the layout over the two decades, with new facilities added to enhance visitor experience. The most notable changes include the conversion of the archaeology gallery into a children’s interactive zone and a poster display area, as well as the addition of a café and a lift.
In 1990, the left side of the museum contained a gift shop, a natural history room, and a museum office, all of which remained unchanged in 2010. The archaeology gallery, which occupied a large portion of the right side, was removed and replaced by a children’s interactive zone and a poster display area. The local history room, situated in the bottom right corner, remained intact.
Several additions were made in 2010. The gift shop was expanded to include a café, providing a space for visitors to relax. Furthermore, a lift was installed beside the stairs, improving accessibility. The reception counter, previously in the center, was repositioned diagonally for a more open layout.
Overall, the ground floor of the museum underwent significant transformations, with a greater focus on visitor engagement and accessibility through the introduction of new amenities.
