Fascinating museum. The audio guide was super helpful with translations.
Pebbles D. LimApril 22, 2015
An Audio Guide is advised to take you through for a more informed tour.

A must go! Don't miss it while in Budapest.
Honza KolářMarch 28, 2015
Amazing exhibition. The start is on the 2nd floor!!!
Barkley NunezDecember 30, 2014
Worth the wait. Amazing museum and purposely makes one feel uncomfortable. Well done.
Yasemin GündoğduAugust 15, 2015
Best place to learn about recent history of Hungary
CarrotMikuApril 29, 2014
Not a light-hearted visit at all - but well worth the visit. Be prepared for some very brutal videos/photos.
Jaana PinheiroSeptember 10, 2014
Pay extra 15€ for the audio guide if you don't have patience to read the long description papers! It really worths!
Rost DanNovember 26, 2017
Provides a biased look. If you read some soviet history you can't take that seriously. Too much unnecessary emotions are added in booklets. Phone records and some items are not translated in English
Alyssa G.March 26, 2017
Housed in the former building for Nazis and communists during occupations, learn about the impact and stories from that time in this museum

Get there early and make sure to get the audio guide.

Hungarians know a thing or two about making perfect museums. Do yourself a favor and visit this one.
Gaylene HarrisonFebruary 9, 2013
Well worth a visit. Make sure you allow ample time as there is a lot to see.
Anna SierockaJune 22, 2014
Don't miss the basements. I like the concept of each exhibition.
The BossNovember 8, 2010
t contains exhibits related to the fascist and communist dictatorial regimes in 20th century Hungary and is also a memorial to the victims of these regimes, including those detained, interrogated, tor

Impressive museum, very thoughtfully and artistically curated.
Henrique OliveiraOctober 21, 2013
Extremally heavy mood in this place. It's not a place to have fun but a place to reflect about the humanity and its civilization
Kim GammelgaardDecember 10, 2022
No photos is really stupid, and slightly too narrow-minded nationalistic, but an important place for sure
Petar KarabaticJanuary 30, 2015
Must see! So unfortunate to see what is human kind capable of doing to theselves
Gregorio RDecember 17, 2013
Very interesting place if you're looking to learn about Hungarian history
mizz linMay 22, 2015
Bring your tissues. If u wanna take pics make sure d guards don't see u
Mark HylandSeptember 29, 2016
Great history lesson....but you will need something after to cheer up.
Ilkim AltinorduAugust 15, 2014
Informative but very depressing museum. You enter to dungeons from a very slow and airless elevator which is according to me done by purpose.
Vishnupriya BhandaramSeptember 25, 2014
Very interesting and wonderfully designed and structured.
unutranyholasOctober 7, 2014
Strongly recommended for tourists from Russia
Ricardo McRaeNovember 24, 2012
This should be the first thing you do in Hungary. And you will have a whole new appreciation for the people and the country.
WiviajandoSeptember 2, 2017
Beautiful house bad sad history
АйванOctober 1, 2019
Must see museum in Budapest
Honza VitíkMay 5, 2012
Must see museum. I love it! But the content is very sad.
Elena E.March 28, 2015
A 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
Sally DunnJanuary 17, 2012
A 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?
Bettina MészárosAugust 21, 2015
Garantáltan minden részletére emlékezni fogsz évek múlva is. Tárlatvezetést érdemes kérni. Nemzeti ünnepnapokon ingyenes belépés.
deestivAugust 14, 2013
Most interesting museum in all of Budapest, imo.
Sonia GarkushaNovember 19, 2019
Incredible museum. Must to go
NeverwinterMoonDecember 28, 2019
A decent museum. Leaves you with a heavy feeling, but such is life.
Angela MichelleDecember 9, 2017
I 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, 2013
An impressive exhibition. In the cells, I felt a little depressed. I would not want to experience it firsthand.
Levent AhmetMarch 4, 2015
Must see this place! Dont miss
Jiří SekeraNovember 18, 2017
Who controls the future controls the past.Who controls the past controls the future.
Lincy TynckeNovember 29, 2015
Nice 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
Alexandre GianiApril 18, 2014
Amazing ambience they have created for the museum
Jiajia WuMarch 28, 2016
I didn't rent English audio guide, I can't understand everything...
Simone P.August 19, 2014
First museum where Nazist & Communist crimes are in the same level of terror...
Monica TurnerJanuary 7, 2011
Awesome museum! They have no clue about the foursquare special though
Станислав АтанасовNovember 8, 2017
Everyone that supports socialism and communism should go and see it.
Martina NFebruary 8, 2015
The best museum!!!
Mohsen SarakbiNovember 24, 2017
Disappointing, don't expect to much to see, a lot of videos of people telling the same. less history regarding the Nazi period.
Wouter MuësenMay 4, 2013
Impressive and captivating museum. A must during your citytrip!
Capi TenNovember 5, 2012
During the visit, Watching all Tv's in the same time, is a fucknig mess. Strange feeling to enter in the rooms of torture.
Petros AFebruary 18, 2018
Very rude security guard at the entrance. Possibly trying to imitate the security authorities of the regimes the museum is about. Sad and disgraceful...
