The two diagrams below describe changes to a museum's floor plan between 2008 and 2012. Summaries the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The given diagrams compare the

floor

plan of a museum in 2008 and 2012. They focus on the modifications that happened during

this

period. The plans clearly show that in 2008, the museum had only two floors but, by 2012, the number had gone up to four. Another significant change that happened was the replacement of the staircase with a lift. In 2008, a pathway led to the museum entrance, which opened into the reception, adjacent to which was the reading

room

. One level below is where the staircase started.

This

floor

also

housed a gallery, shop and cloakroom. But, by 2012, an entrance hall had been constructed and since the cloakroom had been converted into a children’s play area, the reception doubled up as a cloakroom as well.

However

, the gallery, shop and reading

room

remained unchanged. By 2012, two additional floors had been built. The third

floor

had an open terrace, a restaurant and a self-service cafe right above the entrance hall, reception-cum-cloakroom and reading

room

respectively. In comparison to the third

floor

, the fourth

floor

occupied a very small area. It had just one exhibition

room

which was one-third the size of the other three floors.
