Memento Park

Memento Park, located in Budapest's southern suburbs, is the first open-air architectural museum in Central Europe to display statues and sculptures of various leaders from Hungary's communist era. It has sculptures made from brass, bronze, stone, copper, marble, and limestone.

It was designed by famed Hungarian architect Akos Eleod in the architectural style of Renaissance elements to unmask the dictatorship period, which was ruled from 1956 to 1989. The park is split into two main areas, the first being the statue park titled "A Sentence About Tyranny", with six oval sections representing a poem written by Gyula Illyes, and the second being Witness Square, popularly known as Neverwas Square. Witness Square contains the Stalin Boots sculpture on display for the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, along with a few other sculptures like the Hungarian-Soviet Friendship Memorial, the Liberation Monument, and the Soviet-Hungarian Friendship that displays the historical importance of communist era in Hungary.
