The Communist Musuems and Statue Park

In in the late 90’s, a group of political and academics in Hungary decided to open a Communist history park in the outskirts on Budapest. The highlight of the park is a group of 20 statues that used to adorn the city and glorified the ideals of communism as well as some of its intellectual founders, Lenin and Marx. I also visited the Terror Museum in downtown Pest. This museum highlighted the ways the Secret police kept tabs on the citizens of Budapest and was located at the old secret police headquarters.

Eerie places indeed.
