Karla DonjuanMay 6, 2017Too long, too much information. the items on the room, audiovisual techiques are not properly used to get you into the theme. A review needs to be made so its more effective the content transmission
Sonja StahorFebruary 17, 2013Great museum, but bad for 4SQ.... I unlocked the Special, but didn't get gift. Special: "Every 20th visitors who check-in", but lady on the Info said: "Let me check... You are eleventh, no gift." :(
Ekaterina SveshnikovaDecember 20, 2013Impressive, interactive, interesting. Worth visiting, though the essential part is devoted to the Soviet regime, not Nazis, while I'd expected equal.
Mikael Andersson StåhlMarch 29, 2015Better than expected, very emotional even for me who has no real connection to Hungary and the opression imposed upon them. They need to improve English signs though.
Iskander SmitFebruary 28, 2014The exhibition is well set out but the English explanation sheets in the rooms are not easy to digest. Makes it hard to get the story. Probably better with audio tour.
Jaana PinheiroSeptember 10, 2014Pay extra 15€ for the audio guide if you don't have patience to read the long description papers! It really worths!
Barkley NunezDecember 30, 2014Worth the wait. Amazing museum and purposely makes one feel uncomfortable. Well done.
Henrique OliveiraOctober 21, 2013Extremally heavy mood in this place. It's not a place to have fun but a place to reflect about the humanity and its civilization
CarrotMikuApril 29, 2014Not a light-hearted visit at all - but well worth the visit. Be prepared for some very brutal videos/photos.
Gaylene HarrisonFebruary 9, 2013Well worth a visit. Make sure you allow ample time as there is a lot to see.
Sally DunnJanuary 17, 2012A must see. A bit depressing though. Especially the cells in the basement. BTW how do you know if you are the 20th to check-in?
Kim GammelgaardDecember 10, 2022No photos is really stupid, and slightly too narrow-minded nationalistic, but an important place for sure
Станислав АтанасовNovember 8, 2017Everyone that supports socialism and communism should go and see it.
Gregorio RDecember 17, 2013Very interesting place if you're looking to learn about Hungarian history
Elena E.March 28, 2015A place with potential, but badly organized. Not one exibit carries a description tag, if there is, it's in Hungarian. The only info come from loose sheets, impossibly long. Disappointing & irritating
Bettina MészárosAugust 21, 2015Garantáltan minden részletére emlékezni fogsz évek múlva is. Tárlatvezetést érdemes kérni. Nemzeti ünnepnapokon ingyenes belépés.
Jiří SekeraNovember 18, 2017Who controls the future controls the past.Who controls the past controls the future.
Petros AFebruary 18, 2018Very rude security guard at the entrance. Possibly trying to imitate the security authorities of the regimes the museum is about. Sad and disgraceful...
Simone P.August 19, 2014First museum where Nazist & Communist crimes are in the same level of terror...
Ilkim AltinorduAugust 15, 2014Informative but very depressing museum. You enter to dungeons from a very slow and airless elevator which is according to me done by purpose.
Lincy TynckeNovember 29, 2015Nice museum, but is was impossible to read and watch everything. In the end you go into the cells and guaranteed you walk out feeling strange. Must do in Budapest to learn the brutal side of communism
Angela MichelleDecember 9, 2017I waited in line for 30 mins to be told there were no audio guides. Seems very disorganized. Also, Viktor Orban is a patron. Given the likely revisionist viewpoint, I didn’t bother.
Hanka V.May 10, 2013An impressive exhibition. In the cells, I felt a little depressed. I would not want to experience it firsthand.
Capi TenNovember 5, 2012During the visit, Watching all Tv's in the same time, is a fucknig mess. Strange feeling to enter in the rooms of torture.

"This is a small museum but of great historic importance. Franz Liszt lived and taught here, and the museum has several of his instruments. A must for any piano lover. Good audio tour."
