Statue Park

'Memento Park is not about Communism itself, but the fall of Communism!' So speaks the guidebook to the Statue Park in Budapest wherein stand the 'Gigantic monuments from the age of communist dictatorship'.

In a quiet area some distance from the city centre stands this park built to house the socialist monuments that once stood around Budapest. This 9.5 metre high bronze statue commemorates the defence of the Republic of Councils against foreign interventionist forces and is heavily based on a poster of the period; Robert Berenyi's "To Arms!".
