The maps delineate the modification of South Wing’s Walton Museum between 2008 and 2012, emphasizing substantial developments. Overall, the area underwent various renovations in visitor amenities, both interior and exterior.As can be seen from the map, in 2008, the South Wing consisted of two levels, with a pathway on its western side. The first floor housed a specialized exhibition area, a shop, and a cloakroom, while the entrance and reception were located on the second floor. Stairs connected the shop and cloakroom, and a reading area was adjacent to the reception.
By 2012, the structure had expanded to four floors, including a lift that connected all levels. The entrance hall was constructed above the specialized exhibition room and topped with a terrace. The cloakroom was relocated to the reception area, replaced by a children’s play zone, and a restaurant was added on the western side above the reception. Additionally, a self-service café was introduced on the second floor, and a new exhibition space was built on the top floor above the café.
