Up to the time of the political changes in Hungary, a little over a decade ago, the cultural decor was far different from what visitors and residents see throughout the city today.
Some of that "culture" was preserved by the icons representing it that were gathered in "Memento Park" to be viewed by the scholar and/or the curious among us.
Memento Park displays the actual statues that decorated the streets and squares of Budapest.
The Red Star gift shop offers visitors and opportunity to own some of the paraphernalia such as Soviet souvenirs, wristwatches, flasks, cigarette-lighters and other personal items, fun t-shirts and mugs, postcards, posters depicting the "wise men" of communism or their slogans.
Exhibitions and short films may be viewed in the Barracks Theater on the premises. The Park is open year-round and may be visited by a direct bus connecting it with Deak Ter in the downtown area. Bus schedules and admission information - please click here.
