Memory Point by Attila F Kovács

Our friends at hg.hu have sent us images of Memory Point, a “political terror museum” in Hódmezővásárhey, Hungary, designed by film designer Attila F Kovács.

Memory Point (Emlékpont) is a local history museum designed “to help mentally close the wretched years of the socialist experiment”, according to hg.hu.

Built on top of a townhouse in the south Hungary agricultural town, the museum contains numerous scenographic jokes at the pomposity and absurdity of the Communist era, including an army of giant sculptures of Workers’ Militiamen sunk waist-deep in the ground.
