It is a very bizarre place, a unique collection of Communist memories. You would see there giant Engels, Marx and Stalins and also memorials of the Communist Martyrs.
As far as I know, this is the only museum of this kind in the world, so I suggest you not to miss it, really got creeps when I was there.
They also have a souvenir shop, a little bizarre as well. They sell candles forming Stalin and Lenin. You should definitely get some of those.

Address:
At the corner of Balatoni ut and Szabadkai ut.

Price:
5,5 Euros per person

Opening Hours:
Everyday from 10am to sunset.
