You wonder what the Hospital in the Rock might look like after we turn off the lights? Do you like exciting and spooky programs?

Come and walk into the Hospital in the Rock Nuclear Bunker Museum as few have been able to do so far – in almost complete darkness!

This summer, you can take part in this exciting adventure only 4 times, in groups of up to 10 people, for the regular entry fee.

Tudod milyen mélyen  a föld alatt…

… néma csöndben, szinte teljes sötétségben?

Reservation: Since the number of participants and the duration of the program is limited, we recommend to book in advance (and pay on spot). Depending on the capacity, it is also possible to join the program on the spot, without reservation.

 

During the program, the hospital part of a museum darkens and our skilled tour guides provide flashlights for every visitor.

A corridor that you have never seen

The mazelike corridors of the Hospital in the Rock are much more labyrinthine, than the parts we can walk through during a traditional guided tour. In addition to the areas to visit, storage rooms, emergency exits and the former staff quarters are also part of the facility. These spaces are cramped and difficult to access, yet we wanted to show them to you, so we used a camera to walk along the corridor from which the nurses’ rooms opened.

During the construction between 1941 and 1943, it was not yet the aim to accommodate all staff in the hospital, but reality exceeded the expectations of the architects. During the Siege of Budapest it was highly dangerous to walk on the streets, so employees did not have any other choice but to move here underground. The staff was crammed up in these small rooms and in the neighboring cave system.

The Hiroshima-Nagasaki Atomic Bomb exhibition was opened on 1st of June, 2017. The ‘Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds’ exhibition is the first permanent exhibition in Europe that shows the effects of nuclear weapons on our surroundings and on the human body. The exhibition would like to draw attention to the nuclear threat which is still present these days. The exhibition intends to showcase the horror of experiencing the bombings.The exhibition is a result of an ongoing formal cooperation of our museum and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum and Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum. Original artefacts arrived from Hiroshima and Nagasaki offered by these municipalities. The original exhibition could be visited between June 1 and October 31 2017, then between 2 January and 31 August 2018.

From September 2018, original artefacts were replaced with replicas that are intended to show the effect of nuclear weapons.
