A New Exhibition in the Shadow of Stalin’s Boots

October 2007 marks a new chapter in the history of Memento Park Budapest. This unique Eastern-European historical exhibition has undergone further development. Its first phase having been opened in 1993 and Stalin’s Tribune built last year, a new exhibition called “Stalin’s Boots” is to be opened on October 11th.

- Who designed the Park, who was the builder and when was it built?
- Statue Park was designed by an architect, Mr. Akos Eleõd, who won the competition announced by the Budapest General Assembly (Fõvárosi Közgyûlés) in 1991 not only with his concept for the placement of the statues, but with his plans for certain cultural-turistical institutions to be established on the square in front of the Park itself. The Self-Government of Budapest had the Park built in 1992-93.

 

Un cimetiere public et temporaire de statues

(...)

Ce qui importait pour l'auteur du projet c'était la fonction nouvelle, transformée, des oeuvres et leur qualité documentaire.

Ákos Eleod a créé avec peu de moyens des conditions idéales, un milieu approprié, avec une objectivité froide, une sobriété, des solutions qui servent les objets exposés, avec une conception élégante et généreuse.
