Today was all about 21st century history at Memento Park! This is a brilliantly done, private museum where so much thought went into every part of this park. Fascism, Dictators, and Propaganda are real and we need to guard our freedom and democracies vigilantly... And I loved my teacher/guide, she was amazing and so passionate about the history of the Communist years between 1947 and 1990. How the messages were manipulated, and images and art was created. The subtle differences between life before during and after living behind the Iron Curtain. And of course the not so subtle oppression in all walks of life. Made sure to save time to watch the KGB training films too! The park is lovely to have a drink or bring a picnic. While the statues alone are messages without words, you really must do the tour with a guide to get the most out of it! Booking an English tour online was easy and the best way to get the most out of your time here! I strongly recommend this private outdoor museum and it's guides!
