Top Experiences in Hungarian National Museum (Magyar Nemzeti Múzeum)

Travel with us to communist Budapest.
Since the loss of World War II, until the 90s, Hungary became a satellite state of the USSR, and the life of the Hungarian people changed completely.

During the tour we will visit the most emblematic places of great historical value, related to the Soviet era.

We will enter the Museum of the Revolution of 1956. Full of symbols.

We will take a ride on tram 2, which crosses the Danube River, to reach the Technological University, the headquarters from which the 1956 Revolution began.

In the Great Central Market, we will talk about rationing and how they lived their day to day.

We will also talk, spies, and we will revive the street guerrillas.

You will learn about art, Soviet cinema and censorship. Do you know what bone music is? Or that in Hungary they had their own “Bud Spencer”?

We will put an end to the tour in Covin mozi, the epicenter of the resistance in the 1956 Revolution.

Historians still argue what to call the events that were triggered by a peaceful solidarity rally of Hungarian students with the Polish people on October 23rd, 1956: a rebellion, revolt, uprising, popular uprising, revolution, counter-revolution, or War of Independence.

The best definition comes from Sándor Márai’s poem, Angel from heaven, written for the Christmas of 1956: “A nation said: Enough!”. 

The events of 1956 shook not only the communist world, but had lasting effects on world politics. The brief period of breathing “freedom at last” gave courage and strength to Hungarians to survive the rest of foreign tyranny until it finally collapsed in 1989.
