The 'Tower of Fools' still stands in Vienna, now housing the Pathological-Anatomical Museum. The Tower originally confined 140 men and women, one or two to a cell. Inmates were chained to the walls and provided only with straw mats for sleeping and the most rudimentary nourishment. Builders of new psychiatric institutions around 1900 admired the building for its rational plan, but at the same time saw it as a relic of an inhumane past. This picture shows a replica of an older, undated model in the Niederösterreichisches Landesmuseum, St. Pölten, Austria.
