Memento Park
Szoborpark
An open-air sculpture park on the southwest outskirts of the city, displaying giant statues of Lenin, Marx and others removed from public spaces during the Communist era.
After 1989, statues of Lenin, Marx, Engels and Soviet Red Army monuments were removed from Budapest's streets. More than 40 of them were gathered in this park on the edge of the city. The entrance features a replica of the platform where the Stalin statue once stood, now reduced to a pair of boots after it was toppled. The park has a small exhibition hall showing training films made for secret police during the Cold War, and a gift shop selling nostalgic items. Admission is about 5,000 forints or more. The park is about 10 kilometres southwest of the city centre. Take bus 101E or 150 from Újbuda-központ, or use the official shuttle bus.
