Remarkable! Fantastic picture. It looks like a painting out of a storybook. Another pic for the castle calendar.

I have to say that years ago, when these pictures were painted on the wall, it was most likely thought to bring a sort of cheerfulness to the playroom that the children had to be in. I see it as a positive rather than a negative. It was run by the state, they could not hire the best artist in the world ya know. So the pictures are not the best quality- they may have brightened up the room a little for the kids. I remember murals like these on the walls at Children's Hosp. when I was little back in the late 70's early 80's. I had open heart surgery, and I LIKED seeing character pictures on the walls. It is only creepy in this pic since the place is weathered! There probably was carpet and seating.

God, how personal. Stickers, hand written notes, it brings the realism to the surface. A real human being was once in that device, possibly days on end. I am in awe of all of it.

At one of our older hospitals here in my city, we have a special hallway that has glass cases all the way down the hall filled with medical items from the hospital's history. I believe it is named "history hall". I like to go there and read the info and look at the stuff for hours.
