The House of Terror Museum commemorates two tragic eras in Hungarian history from 1944 to 1990, when the nation was first occupied by Nazi-supported Arrow Cross forces and then by Soviet-backed communists. The museum presents an exhibition documenting what life was like for Hungarians under these dictatorships, including the building's own history as a site where people were held captive, tortured, and killed. Visitors encounter historical stories and artifacts that illustrate the sacrifices made by those living under these regimes and Hungary's struggle for freedom and independence.
