Description
Dear All!
I would like to invite you all to our event on the 14th of November: We'll visit the Cave Hospital / Atomic fallout shelter under the Buda Castle.
The looming fear of the cold war escalation was a very real threat to Hungary. Unfortunately we had to put it to use during WW2: the hospital operated under the Buda Castle using the natural cave formations. The museum is an eerie reminder of a history not so far from us.
If you would like to explore the museum, please register below.
📍Time: nov. 14. (time depends on the amount of people registering)
