    But Hungarians still live with the mentality that they have to HIDE a car, inside a museum :-) They hide a Soviet car behind a vail; how stupid is that! A population dominated by insecurity, misunderstanding and fear. Hungary is a deppressiv country.
    The history of the Hungarian people all reflected in movies, pictures, posters, in this house on Andrassy 60. Objects on display point to a few issues outstanding that should be discussed in History classes in the HU universities! Bleak times exposed by Viktor Orban, it turns your stomach inside out, especially the "Karcel!"

    Despite the city's …
