Budapest's Top 10
Memento Park
9
Containing statues and other memorials from the Communist period, Me-
mento Park can only be described as a cemetery of socialist mistakes, or a
well-manicured trash heap of history. In southern Buda, it's home to about four
dozen statues, busts and plaques of Lenin, Marx and home-grown henchman Béla
Kun. Ogle the socialist-realist 'art' and try to imagine that some of the monstrosities
were still being erected in the late 1980s and were in place until the early 1990s.
