I visited by accident. I was expecting a 'house of horrors' or a cheesy wax museum of ancient oddities. It was way more serious and depressing than I expected. And I have no regrets. The tragedy of humans fucking over their neighbors and acquaintances was eye-opening

It’s wierd to see an article posted to creepy Wikipedia that I’ve actually been too. Pretty depressing and sad to see. If you’re in Budapest it’s worth checking out.
