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
