I was impressed with the way the subject was handled, the arty way in which old records were used to decorate the rooms/furniture etc. The whole place had a really grim, scary feel about it and we learned loads about individuals experiences of this awful period of history.

Great museum with beautiful designed rooms! There are many tv-screens with real footage from that periode - but also well decorated rooms with equipment or information from back then.

I came away from it with a greater appreciation for living in Canada. The House of Terror tells the story of Hungary's road to a free democracy. And it appeared to have been a... More

Very informative even if not all information in English. There were printed sheets in every room and subtitles for most films. Really should be seen to realise what the people went through. Stories and pictures of victims very moving.
