Top Museums: #1

#1 House of Terror
Budapest, Hungary
A GREAT museum.  Basically, it documented and presented what life was like during the Nazi and Communist occupations following WWII.  While you learn TONS of information, you are met with an experience...not a museum feel at all.  This is one of those things where words can't describe.  Just do yourself a favor and go here.

History: 5
Very detailed description of the occupations by the Nazis and Communists.
Fun: 4
As fun as learning about oppressed people can be.
Touching: 3
Presentation: 5
As soon as you walk into the first exhibit, you're met with loud music and multimedia.  The place was chilling, awesome, impressive, and scary.
Niceness: 4
Not bad.  Not the best.
Magnitude: 4
Information: 5
Every room had fliers with information.  To add them all up, its a book.  You can practically read a book in there.
Atmosphere: 5
Between being in the original Nazi and Communist HQ, the primary artifacts from the era, the multimedia presentation, and the impressiveness of it all, you become engrossed in the topic.
"It" Factor: 4
A museum about oppression and resistance...during the post WWII era.  Just a great museum.
Language: 5
Total: 44

I wasn't allowed to take pictures while in the museum.  Oppression continues.
