This scale model clearly shows how the architecture of the Municipal Orphanage is geared to the children who lived and played together there. Set below a multi-domed roof are playhouses with a red wall, a pancake kitchen, a water basin to play in, and fairytale lanterns. In the courtyards are sandboxes and a pond encircled with benches.

On display in room 3.4
