A glance behind the Iron Curtain.
After the change of political system the statues were removed from Budapest’s streets to the museum.
This is the world’s only such collection from the period of communist cultural politics.
It’s the most exciting outdoor museum in Eastern Europe.
The statues of Lenin, Marx and Engels, Dimitrov and Ostapenko can be seen at the park, and memorials to The Soviet Soldier, the Communist Martyrs, and the Republic of Councils. And much else besides.
