  I guess you have to be super interested in the history to attend here. By all means it's not bad, but it's a walk around read and watch museum. I'm glad I went but I won't go again. So Yes, do check it out but don't expect anything other than the norm

  Do not go here if you want to visit a nice museum, this is more of a library than than anything. Very little to look at but you received paper upon paper filled to the brim with nothing but text. It doesn't seem to be any air conditioning in the building either, it was warm, humid and crowded with people, even a security guard complained. I have few positive things to say about this place. I would recommend the national museum if you are interested in Hungarian history.

  Staff is very unpleasant and moody. Museum is probably very interesting if you speak Hungarian. Little information in English. Information that is available in English is on A4 papers which are accumulated along the way. Way too much information on one page, felt more like reading a history book for school. You start the tour off on the second floor and end in the basement. Unfortunately, to get to the basement you have to get on an elevator in which they show you a short film. Elevator moves way too slowly for the amount of people waiting to get on - we had to wait in line at least 20 minutes!! Would not visit again.

  I heard about this place from our walking tour and was very excited to visit however there is no real guide on what is going on (we didn’t opt for audio guide), there is an A4 piece of paper at the start of every room with way too much information on it. There are no labels or information on any of the displays so it’s not really clear. This place looks great however you’re not supposed to take any pictures when inside and you have to leave your bag in the cloakroom before you can even enter. The history is fascinating but I just wish the information was present better.

  The museum is visually very impressive. The displayed objects, photos and videos really make you feel the terror Hungary has experienced. Especially walking through the rooms that have been used as actual cells was asphyxiating. The problem with this museum is in the information. Nothing that is displayed in the museum has signs with any explanation. The way to get your information is to read the information sheets in every room. But those are very badly written, huge portions of text with no clear structure and complex, archaic language (at least in English). They are a pain to read through, and you have to do this in every room to get a sense of what is going on. Also it is very annoying that you have to queue for the elevator to the basement (since there are no stairs) which takes several minutes (excluding the queue!) Too bad a museum with so much potential provides such a tedious experience.
