Came upon this exhibition whilst looking at the parliament building from the front. It is down some steps and is completely free. I was totally ignorant of the 1956 massacre and found the whole exhibition very moving and thought provaking. I purchased a book at the desk as you enter to read more about this dreadful massacre. Still can't believe they do not know the actual number of people killed.!! The building opposite the houses of parliament has the bullet holes marked with metal and also a memorial. Definitely worth a visit.

I was not looking for it, but there it was. It is only small, but inexpensive. It cost me 350 Florints entry, plus 500 to take pictures. There are three railcars, nicely restored, plus exhibits of how the railway was built, uniforms, tickets, maps, and history. It was good to see English translations of all the exhibition text. There is a good range of souvenirs to buy, at good prices.

It's a wonderful place of visit to take a moment from everyday sightseeing. Perfect location right next to the must-see parliament building. Museum is small, but with a very rich exhibition of historical items, from beautiful crockery for afternoon tea, old packagings, tin boxes and posters, to manufacturing items from moulds to machinery. And there are also some amazing marzipan sculptures to admire. You can see that collection was truly made out of love and passion for it. And the best part, it also includes a lovely chocolate shop and cafe with some amazing treats to enjoy.

We visited the cafe here to escape the rain. It was absolutely lovely, the coffee was great as were the cakes. Wonderful ambience sat amongst posters, statues and antiquities from the art nouveau period.

The task of ethnography in the 21st century is to challenge different viewpoints of the present for the development of the future, while relying on the past. This is what our Visitor Center promotes. It directs our attention to the colourful Hungarian cultural heritage and assists visitors who would like to discover the past, present and future of the elements of Hungarian ethnographic heritage.
