Communist-era statues
About Memento Park
When communism ended in Hungary in 1989, many of its monumental statues were taken down. Memento Park, on the south-western edge of Budapest, brought them together in an open-air museum: heroic workers, soldiers and leaders, frozen in bronze. It is a fascinating and slightly surreal visit, best reached by bus or taxi.
