‘Terror’ (not exactly the same as terrorism,) on floors of the museum, including the cellar which was converted into cells and still retains some of the torture weapons. The displays chronicle the period in graphic detail, using photos, newspaper articles, actual uniforms, video recordings of actual warfare, including the 1956 uprising.

This House of Terror in Budapest, Hungary, contains exhibits related to the fascist and communist dictatorial regimes in 20th century Hungary. Besides, it is also a memorial to the victims of these regimes, including those detained, interrogated, tortured or killed in the building.

Fascism is a totalitarian nationalist political ideology and mass movement that is concerned with notions of cultural decline or decadence, and which seeks to achieve a millenarian national rebirth by exalting the nation or race, as well as promoting cults of unity, strength and purity. Some of those who have been argued that the museum portrays Hungary too much as the victim of foreign occupiers and does not recognize enough the contribution that Hungarians themselves made to the regimes in question as well. Most of the controversy has stemmed from the exhibition’s perceived political slant.
