For a touch more history you can also visit Memento Park. Together with the Libert Statue, Memento Park is one of the few Communist-era monuments that have been preserved. In fact, Memento Park is a collection of multiple statues and public works of art that have been collected from all over Hungary.

The purpose was to keep them displayed as relics of the past without glorifying it. There are a total of 40 statues to look at, including the statue of Stalin’s giant boots – a replica of a Stalin’s statue that was taken down during the Hungarian revolution of 1956.

Reviews

“Being Polish, I was totally amazed by the fact that even though one nation may have suffered from in a specific period of its life, it can still show respect to that period's art. There may not be many monuments in the park, but they have amazing dynamics and are crucial for understanding the history of the country. It was really surprising to find a monument by a Greek sculptor, which showed characteristics of ancient Cycladic art. Huge thanks to the guide, who pointed out the sculpturer's origin!”
