"The exhibition showcases the miniature model of Helsinki of 1878, a long-time favourite the public hasn’t seen in decades. The City Museum ordered the model in the 1920s, and it was exhibited in the Hakasalmi Villa until the 1980s. It is now reinstated in a prime position in the new museum.

The model shows the Katajanokka district before the time of Art Nouveau houses, largely unconstructed. Just a couple of wooden shacks dot the cape, with the Uspenski Cathedral watching over it. On the other hand, the buildings of the new Helsinki City Museum located at the corner of the Senate Square are shown pretty much as they are now."

"Näyttely esittelee pienimuotoisen mallin Helsingistä vuonna 1878, joka on pitkäaikainen suosikki, jota yleisö ei ole vuosikymmenien aikana havainnut, ja se oli näytteillä Hakasalmen huvilaan 1980-luvulle asti. Nyt se palaa erinomaiseen asemaan uusi museo.

Malli näyttää Katajanokalta ennen jugend-rakennuksia, jotka ovat suurelta osin rakentamattomia. Vain pari puisia hökkeleitä rinteillä, ja Uspens Cathedral seuraa sitä. Toisaalta uuden Helsingin kaupunginmuseon rakennukset Senaatintorin nurkassa näkyvät aivan yhtä paljon kuin nyt."
