Sample Detail

The maps illustrate how Australian art galleries have transformed since 1950. Overall, the art galleries witnessed significant changes, with the addition of new art sections and the removal of the courtyard. In 1950, there was a courtyard at the top of the map, opposite its entrance, between which was a room for sculpture. A coffee shop was located on the top left of the sculpture and below it was a section for temporary exhibitions, which was next to a bookshop. On the other side of the sculpture, there were rooms for arts of different eras and regions, including early European art, middle European art and Australia Art. At present time, the courtyard has been removed to make way for new sections, namely children art school, Australia aboriginal art and australia art, which has been relocated from the bottom right of the sculpture. Additionally, the old café has been divided into two separate areas, one for enjoying coffee and the other for toilet usage. The temporary exhibition and bookshop remain unchanged throughout the given time. Finally, a new section for Asian art has been established where the Australia one used to be situated in 1950.
