Hungary suffered really serious periods of totalitarianism (fascism and communism) during a big part of the 20th century and The House of Terror is a museum dedicated exclusively to present those periods.
The museum, which is located on Andrássy Avenue, opened its doors in 2002 and it´s situated in a building that, previously, housed a police department. One of the places in The House of Terror which strikes the most are its original basements that hold the cells where they isolated the prisoners and the interrogation rooms which are exactly like they were fifty years ago.
From when you walk into the museum you can listen to a really dark music that will accompany all the visitors during the whole visit.
The House of Terror has three different floors that are full of different objects and exhibitions. In some they will present nazi photographs, in others captures of the Chain Bridge completely broken and in others uniforms or different propagandas that were used for brain washing and more.
Despite the House of Terror being one of the darkest museums and that shows one of the most sinister times that Hungary went through, it´s one of the most important in the city. You can rent apartments in Budapest and walk through it´s different floors.
