The map below shows the plan of a museum in 1998 and after some changes were made in it in 2008. 

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
The illustrated maps provide information about the differences in a
museum
between 1998 and a decade later. In general, there are several noticeable changes, replacements, and new amenities,
although
the old rooms still exist.
To begin
with, the
museum
in 1998 had three permanent exhibition rooms and six various zones,
such
as a garden,
cafe
, shop, ticket entrance and exit place, temporary exhibition area, WC and bags and cots cloakroom. In the middle of the
museum
, there was the hugest garden,
while
in the right corner beside the shop, bags and coats zones were the smallest room. Moving to the next map, the design slightly changed in 2008. All permanent exhibition rooms are set in a row and close to each other, whilst a decade ago, they were spread to the left and right of the
museum
.
In addition
, the bags and coats cloakroom has been relocated to the left corner and separated from the WC, but it remains beside the shop.
Besides
these changes, the
museum
enhances new areas, namely the restaurant, fountains, and
cafe
sitting points. The restaurant is beside the
cafe
,
whereas
the
cafe
sitting and fountains areas are in the garden.
