Hungary’s most popular museums, according to TripAdvisor

Budapest exhibition History museum

The list of the most popular Hungarian museums by TripAdvisor came out with some interesting results, origo.hu reports. The top 10 list is dominated by a perhaps less known museum which nevertheless overtook the likes of the Hungarian National Museum or the National Gallery.

The Hospital in the Rock Nuclear Bunker Museum took the No. 1 spot on the TripAdvisor travel website’s list, which was based on user-generated feedback. The Hospital in the Rock, deep beneath the Castle Hill, used to be an underground hospital and nuclear shelter in the 20th century. Around 200 wax figures, original furnishing, and hospital equipment helps visitors to experience the events and the atmosphere of the Second World War, 1956, and the Cold War.

The Hospital in the Rock overtook some of the most well-known museums in the country. Eight out of ten museums on the list are in Budapest, the other two are the Zsolnay Museum in Pécs and the Margit Kovács Museum in Szentendre.
