Do you know for sure that the gold plated .25acp is a baby Browning? The picture is very small, so I can't tell and I've never seen this exhibit in person, but it also looks like a Walther Model 9 pistol.
They are very similar looking in profile.

It's hard to tell, but the grip screw does appear more centered in the grip than one would find on the FN. So the Walther would be the most likely choice based on that photo.

Good eye Malysh. However, while it doesn't look to be a FN baby browning, it is also not a Walther model 9. Its apparently a Liliput 32 acp auto pistol which was presented to Hitler.
And in case anyone was wondering, that dagger was Goering's as well. I'm surprised that a Hitler pistol was placed right with Goering's stuff, I didn't expect that. I figure there would be another exhibit for Hitler?!?
