Statues from the Communism era were all brought to this park after the era came to an end. The park is located a little away from the city and makes for an interesting outing to catch a glimpse of the communist history of Hungary.

The Budapest Memento Park museum will shad some light on what was going on behind the Iron Curtain.

Visit the Budapest Memento Park (or Statue Park) and you'll have a fairly good impression what life was like in Hungary during the communist regime.

Standing at prominent places throughout Budapest the purpose of the symbolic statues was to constantly remind people of how great and powerful the Soviet system was.

After the fall of the communist system in 1989 all statues were moved to the outskirts of Budapest to establish a unique museum.
