Hospital in the Rock Nuclear Bunker Museum
The Hospital in the Rock Museum is located in the heart of Europe, under the Buda Castle. The hospital played an important historical role as an emergency facility both during World War II and during the 1956 revolution. It was developed into a nuclear bunker during the Cold War and was top secret until 2002.
The museum opened its doors in 2007 and for today more than 1,000,000 visitors has seen its exhibitions. Its mission is to show the true face of war and highlight the value of peace. It commemorates the everyday heroes who testified to their determination and heroism during the most difficult periods of the twentieth century. Its primary purpose is to preserve and present the eternal values they represent.
