Overview

Curious about everyday life behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War era?

The Retro Budapest Interactive Museum, located in the heart of downtown, is a great entertaining program for all ages. It showcases thousands of original iconic items from the communist era of the '70s and '80s in thoughtfully arranged, air-conditioned thematic rooms.

Explore engaging quizzes and interactive games or read news in an authentic studio equipped with original live TV cameras.

Three Soviet cars are on display, including a Lada car that functions as a police car simulator, allowing you to virtually patrol the streets of Budapest.

See a typical Eastern Bloc family home with standardized furniture and everyday items. View artifacts from Hungary's 1980 space mission, including a spacesuit and traditional canned goulash sent to the Salyut 6 crew.

Visit retro bistro for coffee snacks, or browse souvenir shop.
