While the House of Terror addresses the same theme in a sinister register, the retro museum prefers to look back on Hungary’s Communist period with lightness and humor. Many very kitch objects. We're having a good time.
Lots to look at

Very cool and lots of things to look at. Mostly items to look at with a little description explaining them. Lockers available for free to leave bags and coats. Most items had english explanations. There were a couple of interactive things eg. a car driving simulator and a mock news desk, but perhaps more would be expected with the word interactive in the name. Staff were nice and we got a drink in the restaurant which was good.
Very interesting step...

There isn't an audio guide and there are very few signs/explanations in either Hungarian or English. If you lived in a soviet state you'll probably recognize a lot of stuff and enjoy this museum. If not, you probably won't get much out of it. But the short "sports" video of a "gymnastic" event is very entertaining.
What was it like…

Interesting museum that gives some insight of life in Budapest from the 50’s to the fall of the Iron Curtain in the early 90’s through various artefacts and recreation scenes. Try the dial-a-joke in the phone boxes for some period humour. The diner in the foyer looks fun.
A fun visit

Very fun and interactive museum. I would recommend visiting to anyone that enjoys the retro esthetic or wants to see some interesting things from everyday life from before a couple of decades.
