Statue Park is an outdoor exhibit of 42 Communist statues and memorials once dominating the city's streets and squares. After the political change in 1989 the Hungarians promptly removed the reminders of communist rule. The statues and memorials are scattered throughout a fenced area which, according to the original plan, should have been surrounded by a brick wall. Songs from the Hungarian and Russian workers' movements poured from local speakers, and socialist-nostalgia souvenirs were available in a small gift shop.
