Your Experience
A Journey Through Hungary’s Communist Past
Step back in time and explore the history and legacy of Hungary’s communist era at Memento Park, an open-air museum that showcases the monumental statues and plaques that once adorned the streets of Budapest. You’ll see the imposing figures of Lenin, Marx, Engels, and other communist leaders, as well as socialist realist sculptures by some of the most prominent Hungarian artists of the time. Learn about the political and cultural context behind these relics of a bygone era, and how they reflect the ideology and propaganda of the dictatorship.
A Glimpse Into the Secret Service and Stalin’s Bunker
Visit The Most Cheerful Barrack, an exhibition hall that displays photos and documents related to the 1956 revolution and the 1989-1990 political changes. Watch a documentary film about the life of an agent of the former political secret service, and discover how they spied on and manipulated citizens. Then, head to Stalin’s Grandstand, a replica of the tribune where a giant statue of Stalin once stood before it was toppled by protesters in 1956. You’ll see the broken bronze shoes that are now a symbol of the revolution, and enter the bunker underneath the grandstand for a more eerie experience.
