MEMENTO PARK

"Stepping into this museum takes one back to the days when half of Europe was ruled by communism. When the Iron Curtain fell Soviet-style propaganda sculptures were destroyed en masse in other countries of East Europe, but the Memento Park in Budapest preserved around 40 major works of the time that used to stand in public areas. There are statues of Lenin, Marx and Engels, gigantic memorials and allegorical works depicting Soviet soldiers and communist heroes. The Stalin tribune, the barracks exhibition and a film all serve to give a real sense of life behind the Iron Curtain. One of the best Budapest sightseeing points - you cannot miss!
