Notes
The plan includes the existing front part of No.42 with its five (sic) regularised door and window openings. In the room between the narrow front door of No.42 and the new wider entrance to the museum, a lobby and screens are inserted to try to create a dignified approach.
The note about a temporary partition (needed because of the two-phase building programme in which the north end of the museum was completed after the rest was constructed) is written against a partition running across the north side of the bay south of the north apse.
